Description

This is a 29-page digital unit from the Australian Curriculum Science series that covers:

Living things have structural features and adaptations that help them survive their environment (ACSSU043)
Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and reflects historical and cultural contributions (ACSHE081)
Scientific knowledge is used to solve problems and inform personal and community decisions (ACSHE083)
With guidance, pose clarifying questions and make predictions about scientific investigations (ACSIS231)
Identify, plan and apply elements of scientific investigations to answer questions and solve problems using equipment and materials safely and identifying potential risks (ACSIS086)
Decide variables to be changed and measured in fair tests, and observe measure and records data with accuracy using digital technologies as appropriate (ACSIS087)
Construct and use a range of representations, including tables and graphs, to represent and describe observations, patterns or relationships in data using digital technologies as appropriate (ACSIS090)
Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations (ACSIS218)
Communicate ideas, explanations and processes using scientific representations in a variety of ways, including multi-modal texts (ACSIS093)

We live in an astonishingly complex world surrounded by natural and man-made wonders, from amazing life cycles and evolutionary adaptations of different species, to human inventions which have changed the way we live. With a smorgasbord of examples, Australian Curriculum Science is the must-have one-stop resource for teachers. Through hands-on and interactive activities, each resource in the series will captivate students and give them a thirst for scientific knowledge and understanding.
