1. Physical Science · Motion and Stability: Force and Interactions

1. Balanced & Unbalanced Forces: Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object
2. Contact & Non-Contact Forces: Notice that some forces need contact between two objects (contact forces) while magnetic forces can act at a distance (non-contact forces)
3. Predicting Motion Patterns: Make observations and measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion

2. Life Science · Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity

1. Variation & Survival Advantage: Use evidence to explain how variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing
2. How animals adapt to environments: Identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment and understand that adaptation may lead to evolution over time
3. Fossils as Evidence: Analyse and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of organisms and environments that existed long ago

3. Life Science · Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

1. Inherited characteristics: Analyse and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms
2. Traits: inherited and environmental: Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment as well as inheritance

4. Life Science · Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics

1. Animal Groups & Survival: Construct an argument that some animals form groups that help members survive, such as herds, packs, or colonies

5. Life Science · From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

1. Life Cycles of Organisms: Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all share the common stages of birth, growth, reproduction, and death

6. Engineering, Technology, and the Application of Science · Engineering Design

1. Simple Design Problems: Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost
2. Comparing Possible Solutions: Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints
3. Fair testing (age 8+): Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved

7. Earth & Space Science · Earth and Human Activity

1. Designing for Weather Hazards: Make a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impacts of a weather-related hazard such as flooding, wind damage, or extreme temperatures

8. Earth & Space Science · Earth's Systems

1. Seasonal changes (age 8+): Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season
2. Weather vs climate: Obtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world, distinguishing between weather and climate
