Science Knowledge & Understanding
Physical Sciences
Investigate the transfer and transformation of energy in electrical circuits, including the role of circuit components, insulators and conductors.
(AC9S6U03)
Science as a Human Endeavour
Nature and Development of Science
Examine why advances in Science are often the result of collaboration or build on the work of others. (AC9S6H01)
Use and Influence of Science
Investigate how scientific knowledge is used by individuals and communities to identify problems, consider responses and make decisions.
(AC9S6H02)
Science Inquiry
Questioning and Predicting
Pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions. (AC9S6I01)
Planning and Conducting
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.
(AC9S6I02)
Use equipment to observe, measure and record data with reasonable precision, using digital tools as appropriate. (AC9S6I03)
Evaluating
Compare methods and findings with those of others, recognize possible sources of error, post questions for further investigation and select evidence to draw reasoned conclusions. (AC9S6I05)
Design Technologies
Technologies and Society
Explain how people in design and technologies occupations consider competing factors including sustainability in the design of products, services and environments (AC9TDE6K01)
Technologies Context: Engineering Principles and Systems
Explain how electrical energy can be transformed into movement, sound or light in a product or system. (AC9TDE6K02)
Materials and Technologies Specialisations
Explain how characteristics and properties of materials, systems, components, tools and equipment affect their use when producing designed solutions. (AC9TDE6K05)
Investigating and Defining
Investigate needs or opportunities for designing, and the materials, components, tools, equipment and processes needed to create designed solutions. (AC9TDE6P01)
Evaluating
Negotiate design criteria including sustainability to evaluate design ideas, processes and solutions. (AC9TDE6P04)
