	Science as a human endeavour
•	Scientific understandings, discoveries and inventions are used to inform personal and community decisions and to solve problems that directly affect people’s lives VCSSU073	1
	Chemical sciences
•	Changes to materials can be reversible, including melting, freezing, evaporating, or irreversible, including burning and rusting VCSSU077	9
	Earth and space sciences
•	Sudden geological changes or extreme weather conditions can affect Earth’s surface VCSSU079		9
	Physical sciences
•	Energy from a variety of sources can be used to generate electricity; electric circuits enable this energy to be transferred to another place and then to be transformed into another form of energy VCSSU081			8

	Planning and conducting
•	Decide which variables should be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests and accurately observe, measure and record data VCSIS084	1
	Analysing and evaluating
•	Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations VCSIS086	1
•	Suggest improvements to the methods used to investigate a question or solve a problem VCSIS087	1
