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

Elaborations

• 1 using annotated digital photography or field sketches to describe structural features of plants or animals
• 2 constructing a column graph to illustrate the relationship between predation and an animal feature such as colour as indicated by a simulation, and using values to represent the outcomes of repeated simulations
• 3 modelling landscapes using materials such as sand, gravel, soil and rocks to show effects of erosion by water
• 4 constructing labelled ray diagrams to represent observations and compare how light interacts with different objects
• 5 using maps to identify patterns in erosion site locations or aerial photographs to show effects of erosion over time
