Key outcomes |
Specific learning intentions |
|---|---|
| Science can help find answers about the world. Chemistry can be used to solve mysteries. | Use evidence left at a scene to plan and carry out scientific investigations and solve a mystery. |
| Substances that are soluble will dissolve in water. | Demonstrate and describe what happens when powders are dissolved in water. |
| Solutions can be identified as acids or bases. | Observe colour changes and identify acids and bases using an indicator. |
| Chromatography can be used to separate out the pigments in different ink mixtures. | Test and compare the ink samples using chromatography. |
| Scientific investigations may involve pattern seeking, experimentation, fair testing | Observe and analyse patterns and soil composition in a shoe print. |
| Scientists investigate to answer questions about the world. | Investigate (fair testing, pattern seeking, identifying and classifying) to find possible answers to their questions. |
| In Science all ideas matter and scientists often work together to help each other. | Collaborate to plan and carry out investigations. Respect others' ideas. |
