Questioning and predicting
This content descriptor sets out learning for Year 10 Science. Use it to plan lessons and assessment with the Australian Curriculum v9.
Elaborations
- • Elaboration discussing how a tested hypothesis may lead to further predictions and testing to determine if the prediction is supported
- • Elaboration developing hypotheses about the role of human activity in changes to climate and investigating these using secondary data
- • Elaboration observing a change in the frequency of extreme weather events and hypothesising causes from scientific models, such as: ‘If the El Niño weather pattern occurs more frequently then there will be more droughts due to decreased rainfall’
- • Elaboration asking questions about the relationship between crash impact force and speed and developing a hypothesis which can then be tested
- • Elaboration observing how changing the surface area, concentration and temperature affects the rate of a chemical reaction and developing reasoned predictions
