Science Understanding:
Global systems, including the carbon cycle, rely on interactions involving the biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere (ACSSU189)
Science as a Human Endeavour:
Scientific understanding, including models and theories, are contestable and are refined over time through a process of review by the scientific community (ACSHE191)
People can use scientific knowledge to evaluate whether they should accept claims, explanations or predictions (ACSHE194)
Advances in science and emerging sciences and technologies can significantly affect people’s lives, including generating new career opportunities (ACSHE195)
The values and needs of contemporary society can influence the focus of scientific research(ACSHE230)
Science Inquiry Skills:
Plan, select and use appropriate investigation methods, including field work and laboratory experimentation, to collect reliable data; assess risk and address ethical issues associated with these methods (ACSIS199)
Analyse patterns and trends in data, including describing relationships between variables and identifying inconsistencies (ACSIS203)
Use knowledge of scientific concepts to draw conclusions that are consistent with evidence (ACSIS204) Critically analyse the validity of information in secondary sources and evaluate the approaches used to solve problems (ACSIS206)
Communicate scientific ideas and information for a particular purpose, including constructing evidence-based arguments and using appropriate
scientific language, conventions and representations (ACSIS208)
