Victorian F – 10 Science Curriculum

Science knowledge helps people to understand the effects of their actions (VCSSU056)

Forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct contact or from a distance (VCSSU064)

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

Use formal measurements in the collection and recording of observations (VCSIS068)

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

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

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, pose questions to clarify practical problems or inform a scientific investigation, and predict what the findings of an investigation might be based on previous experiences or general rules (VCSIS082)

Decide which variables should be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests and accurately observe, measure and record data (VCSIS084)

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

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