Victorian F – 10 Science Curriculum

Scientific understandings, discoveries and inventions are used to inform personal and community decisions and to solve problems that directly affect people’s lives (VCSSU073)

With guidance, identify questions in familiar contexts that can be investigated scientifically and predict what might happen based on prior knowledge (VCSIS065)

Suggest ways to plan and conduct investigations to find answers to questions including consideration of the elements of fair tests (VCSIS066)

Safely use appropriate materials, tools, equipment and technologies (VCSIS067)

Use a range of methods including tables and column graphs to represent data and to identify patterns and trends (VCSIS069)

Compare results with predictions, suggesting possible reasons for findings (VCSIS070)

Reflect on an investigation, including whether a test was fair or not (VCSIS071)

Represent and communicate observations, ideas and findings to show patterns and relationships using formal and informal scientific language (VCSIS072)

With guidance, plan appropriate investigation types to answer questions or solve problems and use equipment, technologies and materials safely, identifying potential risks (VCSIS083)

Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations (VCSIS086)

Suggest improvements to the methods used to investigate a question or solve a problem (VCSIS087)

Communicate ideas and processes using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and to identify simple cause-and-effect relationships (VCSIS088)
