pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions (AC9S5I01)
Elaborations
- posing questions that can be investigated scientifically, such as: ‘Do all animals which live in desert habitats have ways to survive without water?’
- acknowledging and using information from First Nations Australians to guide the formulation of investigable questions about structural features and behaviours of living things
- posing investigable questions about landscape features and how they were changed by weathering, erosion, transportation or deposition
- asking questions and making predictions to test relationships, such as: ‘Will there be more erosion of steeper slopes? Will this organisation of mirrors enable me to see around corners? Are animals that camouflage well more likely to survive predation?’
- making reasoned predictions about the habitat a plant or animal lives in or the observable effect of light interacting with an object
