Science involves making predictions and describing patterns and relationships ACSHE050 Science knowledge helps people to understand the effect of their actions ACSHE051 With guidance, identify questions in familiar contexts that can be investigated scientifically and make predictions based on prior knowledge ACSIS053 With guidance, plan and conduct scientific investigations to find answers to questions, considering the safe use of appropriate materials and equipment ACSIS054 Consider the elements of fair tests and use formal measurements and digital technologies as appropriate, to make and record observations accurately ACSIS055 Use a range of methods including tables and simple column graphs to represent data and to identify patterns and trends ACSIS057 Reflect on investigations, including whether a test was fair or not ACSIS058 Represent and communicate observations, ideas and findings using formal and informal representations ACSIS060 Compare results with predictions, suggesting possible reasons for findings ACSIS215
