Examine why advances in science are often the result of collaboration or build on the work of others AC9S5H01 Investigate how scientific knowledge is used by individuals and communities to identify problems, consider responses and make decisions AC9S5H02

Pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions AC9S5I01 Plan and conduct repeatable investigations to answer questions, including, as appropriate, deciding the variables to be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests; describing potential risks; planning for the safe use of equipment and materials; and identifying required permissions to conduct investigations on Country/Place AC9S5I02 Use equipment to observe, measure and record data with reasonable precision, using digital tools as appropriate AC9S5I03 Construct and use appropriate representations, including tables, graphs and visual or physical models, to organise and process data and information and describe patterns, trends and relationships AC9S5I04 Compare methods and findings with those of others, recognise possible sources of error, pose questions for further investigation and select evidence to draw reasoned conclusions AC9S5I05 Write and create texts to communicate ideas and findings for specific purposes and audiences, including selection of language features, using digital tools as appropriate AC9S5I06
