The Science Inquiry Skills and Science as a Human Endeavour strands are described across a two-year band. In their planning, schools and teachers refer to the expectations outlined in the achievement standard and also to the content
of the Science Understanding strand for the relevant year level to ensure that these two strands are addressed over the two-year period. The three strands of the curriculum are interrelated, and their content is taught in an integrated
way. The order and detail in which the content descriptions are organised into teaching and learning programs are decisions to be made by the teacher.

ASSESSMENT OUTLINE 2022
By the end of Year 8, students compare physical and chemical changes and use the particle model to explain and predict the properties and behaviours of substances. They identify
different forms of energy and describe how energy transfers and transformations cause change in simple systems. They compare processes of rock formation, including the timescales
involved. They analyse the relationship between structure and function at cell, organ and body system levels. Students examine the different science knowledge used in occupations.
They explain how evidence has led to an improved understanding of a scientific idea and describe situations in which scientists collaborated to generate solutions to contemporary
ACHIEVEMENT problems. They reflect on implications of these solutions for different groups in society.
STANDARD DESCRIPTOR
Students identify and construct questions and problems that they can investigate scientifically. They consider safety and ethics when planning investigations, including designing field or
experimental methods. They identify variables to be changed, measured and controlled. Students construct representations of their data to reveal and analyse patterns and trends, and
use these when justifying their conclusions. They explain how modifications to methods could improve the quality of their data and apply their own scientific knowledge
and investigation findings to evaluate claims made by others. They use appropriate language and representations to communicate science ideas, methods and findings in a range of text
types.

Differentiation: Student differences will be catered for by altering the necessary teaching and learning activities to suit the student and their needs. Students with learning difficulties will receive tasks that are more scaffolded and
structured and will be given further instruction as to how to complete them. Students, who display sufficient skills and understanding, will be extended through the provision of more complex tasks, which will challenge and stimulate
their thought processes. Teachers will provide lessons and activities which provide for a range of learning styles. By providing differentiation within the class, students of all capabilities will be provided for.
