ASSESSMENT
Scientific Inquiry Part 2 - Poster Criterion D 12.03.08 - 18.07.18
Students will understand the system of tectonic plates, the transmission of energy, and the effect on the environment; through an inquiry, investigation and examination of identities and relationships of this system. The observation of the behaviour of waves as energy transformers leads to an understanding of waves and how they can be used in various technologies.
Systems
Unit 4: Systems and Consequences in Plate Tectonics
Energy
The theory of plate tectonics explains global patterns of geological activity and continental movement Unit 5: Changes in Waves, Heat Transfer and Light Energy transfer through different mediums can be explained using wave and particle models.
Environment
Student Experiment Extended Experimental

Investigation Day Criterion B and C 06.09.18
Technological advances like nuclear energy affect the relationship between humans and the natural environment.
Scientific and Technical Innovation
Relationships
Unit 6: Relationships between Atoms and Radiation
TWO
Semester Two Examination Criterion A 07.11 - 14.11.18
Energy
Evidence
All matter is made of atoms that are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons; natural radioactivity arises from the decay of nuclei in atoms
Note: Students will also be enrolled to sit ICAS Sciences
Our body needs to maintain a constant internal environment; consequences of uncoordinated body system can lead to organ failure but Scientific and technological advances enable societies to have personal or cultural preference for an organ transplant.

Unit 7: Systems involved with Maintaining Homeostasis
Interaction
Multi-cellular organisms rely on coordinated and interdependent internal systems to respond to changes to their environment
