Science, Year 8
- Science Report
Annotations
1. Identifies forms of energy and uses understanding of energy transformations to support a hypothesis.
2. Describes the steps of the experimental method, identifying processes that ensure a reproducible investigation.
3. Identifies variables to be changed, measured and controlled.
4. Identifies some actions that will contribute to conducting a fair test.
5. Creates an appropriately labelled table to present measured data.
6. Constructs a line graph that follows graphing conventions and uses trendlines to clearly demonstrate a trend in the data.
7. Analyses patterns in data to justify the observed trend and identify the relationship between variables.
8. Explains observations with reference to energy transformations and transfers.
9. Compares results with predictions and interprets observed discrepancies, with reference to physical processes and measured data.
10. Identifies experimental challenges and sources of possible error, describing how they may have impacted on data accuracy.
11. Describes how the use of digital tools supports the precision of data.
12. Suggests modifications to the experimental method that would improve data accuracy.
13. Compares results obtained for different types of balls and uses scientific reasoning to analyse and explain the causes of observed differences.
