Science Understanding
Year 6
Physical Sciences:
Investigate the transfer and transformation of energy in electrical circuits, including the role of circuit components, insulators and conductors (AC9S6U03)
Year 7
Physical Sciences:
Investigate and represent balanced and unbalanced forces, including gravitational force, acting on objects, and relate changes in an object’s motion to its mass and the magnitude and direction of forces acting on it (AC9S7U04)
Year 8
Physical Sciences:
Classify different types of energy as kinetic or potential and investigate energy transfer and transformations in simple systems (AC9S8U05)
Year 9
Physical Sciences:
Apply the law of conservation of energy to analyse system efficiency in terms of energy inputs, outputs, transfers and transformations (AC9S9U05)
Year 10
Physical Sciences:
Investigate Newton’s laws of motion and quantitatively analyse the relationship between force, mass and acceleration of objects (AC9S10U05)
