What Year 4 Science students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 4 Science standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They identify forces acting on objects and describe their effect.
- They relate the uses of materials to their properties.
- They identify solutions based on scientific explanations and describe the needs these meet.
- They explain the role of data in science inquiry.
- They identify key processes in the water cycle and describe how water cycles through the environment.
- By the end of Year 4 students identify the roles of organisms in a habitat and construct food chains.

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.
