What Year 10 Science students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 10 Science standard sentences this code builds towards:
- By the end of Year 10 students explain the processes that underpin heredity and genetic diversity and describe the evidence supporting the theory of evolution by natural selection.
- They analyse and connect a variety of data and information to identify and explain patterns, trends, relationships and anomalies.
- They select equipment and use it efficiently to generate and record appropriate sample sizes and replicable data with precision.
- They describe trends in patterns of global climate change and identify causal factors.
- They analyse the key factors that influence interactions between science and society.
- They select and construct effective representations to organise, process and summarise data and information.
The Science understanding progression either side of AC9S10U05
A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
Taught before · Year 9
- AC9S9U01compare the role of body systems in regulating and coordinating the body’s response to a stimulus, and describe the operation of a negative feedback mechanism
- AC9S9U02describe the form and function of reproductive cells and organs in animals and plants, and analyse how the processes of sexual and asexual reproduction enable survival of the species
- AC9S9U03represent the carbon cycle and examine how key processes including combustion, photosynthesis and respiration rely on interactions between Earth’s spheres (the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere)
Other Year 10 Science understanding codes
- AC9S10U01explain the role of meiosis and mitosis and the function of chromosomes, DNA and genes in heredity and predict patterns of Mendelian inheritance
- AC9S10U02use the theory of evolution by natural selection to explain past and present diversity and analyse the scientific evidence supporting the theory
- AC9S10U03describe how the big bang theory models the origin and evolution of the universe and analyse the supporting evidence for the theory
- AC9S10U04use models of energy flow between the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere to explain patterns of global climate change
- AC9S10U06explain how the structure and properties of atoms relate to the organisation of the elements in the periodic table
- AC9S10U07identify patterns in synthesis, decomposition and displacement reactions and investigate the factors that affect reaction rates
