Taught alongside it

The rest of Science inquiry in Year 7.

AC9S7I01

develop investigable questions, reasoned predictions and hypotheses to explore scientific models, identify patterns and test relationships

AC9S7I02

plan and conduct reproducible investigations to answer questions and test hypotheses, including identifying variables and assumptions and, as appropriate, recognising and managing risks, considering ethical issues and recognising key considerations regarding heritage sites and artefacts on Country/Place

AC9S7I03

select and use equipment to generate and record data with precision, using digital tools as appropriate

AC9S7I04

select and construct appropriate representations, including tables, graphs, models and mathematical relationships, to organise and process data and information

AC9S7I05

analyse data and information to describe patterns, trends and relationships and identify anomalies

AC9S7I06

analyse methods, conclusions and claims for assumptions, possible sources of error, conflicting evidence and unanswered questions

AC9S7I07

construct evidence-based arguments to support conclusions or evaluate claims and consider any ethical issues and cultural protocols associated with using or citing secondary data or information

The same idea, year by year

Where AC9S7I08 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Year 7.

  1. Year 6AC9S6I01pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions
  2. Year 6AC9S6I02plan and conduct repeatable investigations to answer questions including, as appropriate, deciding the variables to be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests; describing potential risks; planning for the safe use of equipment and materials; and identifying required permissions to conduct investigations on Country/Place
  3. Year 6AC9S6I03use equipment to observe, measure and record data with reasonable precision, using digital tools as appropriate
  4. Year 6AC9S6I04construct and use appropriate representations, including tables, graphs and visual or physical models, to organise and process data and information and describe patterns, trends and relationships
  5. Year 6AC9S6I05compare methods and findings with those of others, recognise possible sources of error, pose questions for further investigation and select evidence to draw reasoned conclusions
  6. Year 6AC9S6I06write and create texts to communicate ideas and findings for specific purposes and audiences, including selection of language features, using digital tools as appropriate
