In Science, students are encouraged to explore the world with curiosity and purpose. Through observing, questioning, predicting and testing ideas, they investigate phenomena they can see, feel and measure. By gathering and analysing data, developing models and using evidence to explain their thinking, students gain insight into how scientific knowledge is created and why it evolves over time.
Students collaborate to plan investigations, use equipment safely and evaluate the reliability of their methods and findings. They consider alternative explanations, challenge ideas respectfully and understand the importance of accuracy, ethical practice and healthy scepticism. These experiences help them think and act like scientists, equipping them to assess information critically, recognise misinformation and apply scientific understanding to real?world challenges.
Science dispositions grow over time through varied learning experiences. These habits help students stay curious, consider different perspectives with an open mind and act responsibly as they navigate uncertainty and contribute to solutions for social and environmental challenges.
Our science capabilities describe how students think and work like scientists. These skills are interconnected and develop alongside their developing scientific understanding.
Students will build a foundation of scientific concepts across key domains so that they can understand the world around them. This knowledge underpins students' ability to engage in scientific inquiry and apply their learning to real-world problems organised under the following conceptual understandings.
- Living Systems
- Earth and Space Sciences
- Forces and Energy
- Matter and Materials
