Questioning and predicting
- AC9S3I01 – pose questions to explore observed patterns and relationships and make predictions based on observations
Planning and conducting
- AC9S3I02 – use provided scaffolds to plan and conduct investigations to answer questions or test predictions, including identifying the elements of fair tests, and considering the safe use of materials and equipment
- AC9S3I03 – follow procedures to make and record observations, including making formal measurements using familiar scaled instruments and using digital tools as appropriate
Processing, modelling and analysing
- AC9S3I04 – construct and use representations, including tables, simple column graphs and visual or physical models, to organise data and information, show simple relationships and identify patterns
Evaluating
- AC9S3I05 – compare findings with those of others, consider if investigations were fair, identify questions for further investigation and draw conclusions
Communicating
- AC9S3I06 – write and create texts to communicate findings and ideas for identified purposes and audiences, using scientific vocabulary and digital tools as appropriate
