Year 5 Achievement Standard Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority, 2013, Year 5 Science Curriculum Retrieved 10th October 2013 <http://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/Science/Curriculum/F-10#cdcode=ACSSU080&level=5> By the end of Year 5, students classify substances according to their observable properties and behaviours. They explain everyday phenomena associated with the transfer of light. They describe the key features of our solar system. They analyse how the form of living things enables them to function in their environments. Students discuss how scientific developments have affected peoples lives and how science knowledge develops from many peoples contributions. Students follow instructions to pose questions for investigation, predict what might happen when variables are changed, and plan investigation methods. They use equipment in ways that are safe and improve the accuracy of their observations. Students construct tables and graphs to organise data and identify patterns. They use patterns in their data to suggest explanations and refer to data when they report findings. They describe ways to improve the fairness of their methods and communicate their ideas, methods and findings using a range of text types.
