Processing, modelling and analysing

This content descriptor sets out learning for Year 5 Science. Use it to plan lessons and assessment with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Elaborations

  • • Elaboration using annotated digital photography or field sketches to describe structural features of plants or animals
  • • Elaboration 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
  • • Elaboration modelling landscapes using materials such as sand, gravel, soil and rocks to show effects of erosion by water
  • • Elaboration constructing labelled ray diagrams to represent observations and compare how light interacts with different objects
  • • Elaboration using maps to identify patterns in erosion site locations or aerial photographs to show effects of erosion over time
