Content descriptor pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions

Elaborations

• • Elaboration posing questions that can be investigated scientifically, such as: ‘Do all animals which live in desert habitats have ways to survive without water?’
• • Elaboration acknowledging and using information from First Nations Australians to guide the formulation of investigable questions about structural features and behaviours of living things
• • Elaboration posing investigable questions about landscape features and how they were changed by weathering, erosion, transportation or deposition
• • Elaboration asking questions and making predictions to test relationships, such as: ‘Will there be more erosion of steeper slopes? Will this organisation of mirrors enable me to see around corners? Are animals that camouflage well more likely to survive predation?’
• • Elaboration making reasoned predictions about the habitat a plant or animal lives in or the observable effect of light interacting with an object
