7–10Science 7–10 Syllabus (2023)

Discuss that the purpose of science is to build knowledge and understanding of the world and the Universe through Loading , experimentation and analysis

Recognise how scientific knowledge can be represented in branches of biology, chemistry, physics and geology, and consider how modern scientific knowledge is interdisciplinary and Loading 

Explore why scientific research is usually collaborative and builds on the work of others

Identify that scientific Loading  and Loading  are based on repeated experiments and observations that describe or predict a range of natural Loading 

Identify that the practice of science involves using the Working scientifically processes

Use a variety of analog and digital measuring devices in scientific investigations to compare the range, sensitivity and Loading  of observations provided by those instruments

Compare and contrast the accuracy and Loading  of observations made using the Loading  with those obtained using measuring equipment

Explain how observations of natural phenomena can be used to make inferences and testable Loading 

Explore the different approaches scientists use in scientific research, including Loading  and controlled experiments

Follow a sequence of instructions to safely conduct an investigation, and use scientific tools and instruments to observe how changing the Loading  of the investigation can cause a change in its Loading 

Conduct an investigation using scientific tools and instruments to make a series of observations over time

Tabulate and graph Loading  from an investigation to identify trends, patterns and relationships, and draw conclusions

Compare historical and current solar system Loading  to show how models are modified or rejected due to new scientific Loading 

Explain that predictable and observable phenomena on the Earth are caused by the relative positions of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon

Use physical models or virtual simulations to explain the cyclic patterns of lunar phases and eclipses of the Sun and Moon

Loading  the similarities between Loading  accounts and mainstream scientific Loading  about the phases of the Moon and how the phases affect tides

Explain how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples use stars to identify specific weather phenomena

Describe how Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples predicted seasonal phenomena based on their observations of the stars and phases of the Moon to predict animal behaviour, plant cycles and tidal changes

Investigate how a recent advancement in science has increased knowledge of the world and the Universe
