4 Unit content This unit includes the knowledge, understandings and skills described below. Inquiry Skills construct questions for investigation; propose hypotheses and predict possible outcomes plan, select and use appropriate investigation methods, to collect reliable data; assess risk and address ethical issues associated with these methods conduct investigations safely, competently and methodically for the collection of valid and reliable data represent data in meaningful and useful ways; organise and analyse data to identify trends, patterns and relationships; qualitatively describe sources of measurement error and use evidence to make and justify conclusions interpret a range of scientific and media texts, and evaluate the conclusions by considering the quality of available evidence use appropriate representations, to communicate conceptual understanding, solve problems and make predictions communicate scientific ideas and information for a particular purpose, using appropriate scientific language, conventions and representations as a Human Endeavour the use of scientific knowledge is influenced by social, economic, cultural and ethical considerations the use of scientific knowledge may have beneficial and/or harmful and/or unintended consequences scientific knowledge can enable scientists to offer valid explanations and make reliable predictions scientific knowledge can be used to develop and evaluate projected economic, social and environmental impacts, and to design action for sustainability Understanding Atomic structure atoms consist of a nucleus of protons and neutrons and are surrounded by electrons the properties of elements, compounds and mixtures determine the use of substances Chemical reactions rearrangement of matter occurs during chemical reactions to form new substances chemical reactions involve energy; different types of reactions are used to produce a variety of products Mixtures and solutions mixtures, including solutions, contain a combination of pure substances that can be separated using a range of techniques Motion and forces linear motion of an object is unidirectional and can be determined mathematically the Laws of Motion can assist in predicting the motion of objects forces can be exerted by one object on another by direct contact or from a distance Energy energy has different forms: kinetic, potential and heat, which can cause change
