What Foundation Science students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Foundation Science standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They identify factors that influence the movement of objects.
- They describe the observable properties of the materials that make up objects.
- They identify examples of people using observation and questioning to learn about the natural world.
- With guidance, they represent observations and identify patterns.
- Students pose questions and make predictions based on their experiences.
- They engage in investigations and make observations safely.
The Science inquiry progression either side of AC9SFI05
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.
Builds towards · Year 1
- AC9S1I01pose questions to explore observed simple patterns and relationships and make predictions based on experiences
- AC9S1I02suggest and follow safe procedures to investigate questions and test predictions
- AC9S1I03make and record observations, including informal measurements, using digital tools as appropriate
