Science- Year 7
Year Level Description
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 Standards 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/learning programs are decisions to be made by the teacher.
In Year 7, students explore the diversity of life on Earth and continue to develop their understanding of the role of classification in ordering and organising information. They use and develop models such as food chains, food webs and the water cycle to represent and analyse the flow of energy and matter through ecosystems and explore the impact of changing components within these systems. They explore the notion of renewable and non-renewable resources and consider how this classification depends on the timescale considered.
Content DescriptionsScience as a Human EndeavourUse and influence of science• People use understanding and skills from across the
disciplines of science in their occupations (ACSHE224 )
Science Inquiry SkillsCommunicating• Communicate ideas, findings and solutions to
problems using scientific language and representations using digital technologies as appropriate (ACSIS13 3 )
Evaluating• Reflect on the method used to investigate a question
or solve a problem, including evaluating the quality of the data collected, and identify improvements to the method (ACSIS13 1 )
Science UnderstandingChemical sciences• Mixtures, including solutions, contain a combination of
pure substances that can be separated using a range of techniques (ACSSU113 )
Earth and space sciences• Some of Earth’s resources are renewable, but others
are non-renewable (ACSSU116 ) • Water is an important resource that cycles through the
environment (ACSSU222 )

Cross-curriculum prioritiesAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and culturesStudents will access information about separation techniques used by the Kanomi Aboriginal Peoples. They will learn through experiencing the country how the Kanomi could live on an island sustainably for 4000 years.
The Embedding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into the curriculum requires more than addressing curriculum and pedagogy. To ensure holistic learning, teachers need to address the other realms of the Embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in schools (EATSIPS) framework, these are: Personal and Professional Accountability, Community Engagement and Organisational Environment.
For further information refer to When delivering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Perspectives.

FeedbackWhat do visiting students already know? What do my students need to learn?
How do I teach it?
Feedback is information and advice provided by a teacher, peer, parent or self about aspects of someone's performance. The aim of feedback is to improve learning and is used to plan what to teach next and how to teach it.
Teachers and students use feedback to close the gap between where students are and where they aim to be. Teachers use self-feedback to guide and improve their teaching practice.
Supportive learning environment
DifferentiationTeachers are consulted before coming on camp at NKIEEC to identify pre and post camp activities and to identify any students that have learning difficulties or require support
What do your students already know and what do your students need to learn? Consider the individual needs of your students -including ESL, gifted and talented and student requiring additional support.
Start where students are at and differentiate teaching and learning to support the learning needs of all students. Plan and document how you will cater for individual learning needs.
The learning experiences within this unit can be differentiated by increasing:• the frequency of exposure for some students• the intensity of teaching by adjusting the group size• the duration needed to complete tasks and assessment.
For guided and/or independent practice tasks:• student groupings will offer tasks with a range of complexities to cater for individual learning needs• rotational groupings allow for more or less scaffolding of student learning.
Feedback to studentsEstablish active feedback partnerships between students, teachers and parents to find out:• what each student already knows and can do• how each student is going• where each student needs to go next.
Ensure feedback is timely, ongoing, instructive and purposeful.
Feedback may relate to misunderstandings and common alternative conceptions. In this unit this may include:• students stating that clear water is clean water. Inform students that clear water may contain contaminants that are
invisible to the human eye.• students who think that a mixture always has a liquid component. Inform students that mixtures can be made of any
combination of solids, liquids and gases.

• students stating that mixtures containing liquids cannot be separated. Demonstrate to students that liquid mixtures are able to be separated using a range of techniques such as evaporation.
Use feedback to inform future teaching and learning.
For further information related to mixtures and substances consult the lesson plans.
Reflection on the unit planIdentify what worked well during and at the end of the unit for future planning. Reflection may include:• activities that worked well and why• activities that could be improved and how• monitoring and assessment that worked well and why• monitoring and assessment that could be improved and how• common student misconceptions that need, or needed, to be clarified• differentiation and future student learning needs.
AssessmentWhat do visiting students understand and can do? How well do they know and do it?
Assessment is the purposeful, systematic and ongoing collection of information as evidence for use in making judgments about student learning.
Principals, teachers and students use assessment information to support improving student learning. Feedback from evaluation of assessment data helps to determine strengths and weaknesses in students' understanding.
Monitoring student learningStudent learning should be monitored throughout the teaching and learning process to determine student progress and learningneeds.
Each lesson provides opportunities to gather evidence about how students are progressing and what they need to learn next.
Specific monitoring opportunities in this unit may include:
Student response to activity - Water quality testing
Check student responses to gauge their capacity to:• understand the importance of water quality testing• understand water quality testing procedure• collate and evaluate data
Student response to activity - Monitoring task - Mixtures and substances
Check student responses to gauge their capacity to:• identify mixtures and substances• define mixtures and substances

Sequencing teaching and learningWhat do visiting students already know and can do? What do visiting students need to learn? How do I teach it? The relationship between what is taught and how it is taught is critical in maximising student learning. Start with what visiting students already know and set goals for the next steps for learning. Decide how to provide multiple opportunities for all students to explore and consolidate ideas, skills and concepts by considering how students learn best and by using a variety of teaching strategies.
Teaching strategies and learning experiencesA suggested learning sequence is outlined below. For further information about learning focuses, refer to the teacher lesson overview , teaching sequence and lesson plans.

Making judgments Achievement standard
Status: Master Duration: 1 Week
How do I know how well visiting students have learned?
Teachers and students use standards to judge the quality of learning based on the available evidence. The process of judging and evaluating the quality of performance and depth of learning is important to promoting learning.
Teachers identify the task-specific assessable elements to make judgments against specified standards on evidence.
In this unit, assessment of student learning aligns to the following components of the Achievement standard.
By the end of Year 7, students describe techniques to separate pure substances from mixtures. They represent and predict the effects of unbalanced forces, including Earth's gravity, on motion. They explain how the relative positions of the Earth, sun and moon affect phenomena on Earth. They analyse how the sustainable use of resources depends on the way they are formed and cycle through Earth systems. They predict the effect of environmental changes on feeding relationships and classify and organise diverse organisms based on observable differences.
Students describe situations where scientific knowledge from different science disciplines has been used to solve a real world problem. They explain how the solution was viewed by, and impacted on, different groups in society.
Students identify questions that can be investigated scientifically. They plan fair experimental methods, identifying variables to be changed and measured. They select equipment that improves fairness and accuracy and describe how they considered safety. Students draw on evidence to support their conclusions. They summarise data from different sources, describe trends and refer to the quality of their data when suggesting improvements to their methods. They communicate their ideas, methods and findings using scientific language and appropriate representations.
