What Year 7 Science students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 7 Science standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They identify potential ethical issues and intercultural considerations required for field locations or use of secondary data.
- They use particle theory to explain the physical properties of substances and develop processes that separate mixtures.
- They select and construct appropriate representations to organise data and information.
- They process data and information and analyse it to describe patterns, trends and relationships.
- They select and use language and text features appropriately for their purpose and audience when communicating their ideas and findings.
- They explain how scientific responses are developed and can impact society.

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.
