This content descriptor sets out learning for Year 5 Science. Use it to plan lessons and assessment with the Australian Curriculum v9.
Elaborations
- • Elaboration classifying substances as solids, liquids and gases and investigating their properties
- • Elaboration exploring examples that demonstrate that gases have mass, such as blowing air through straws to move objects or using a balance to compare an empty balloon to one filled with air
- • Elaboration using role-play to model the arrangement and motion of particles in solids, liquids and gases
- • Elaboration observing a virtual demonstration of coloured gases being compressed and providing an explanation for the change in colour intensity
- • Elaboration exploring, through guided discussion, ideas about what is between particles
- • Elaboration recognising First Nations Australians’ knowledges and understandings of solids, liquids and gases and how these knowledges are applied in a range of processes and practices, including the extraction of oils, medical therapies and cooking
