What Year 5 Science students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 5 Science standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They use language features that reflect their purpose and audience when communicating their ideas and findings.
- They construct representations to organise data and information and describe patterns, trends and relationships.
- They relate the particulate arrangement of solids, liquids and gases to their observable properties.
- They use equipment to generate data with appropriate precision.
- By the end of Year 5 students explain how the form and behaviour of living things enables survival.
- They identify risks associated with investigations and key intercultural considerations when planning field work.
