Sample Unit Forces Science Life Skills Stages 4, 5, 6 – – – Sample for implementation for Year 11 from 2018 Working with forces 10 Unit title Duration Unit description In this unit, through practical investigations, students explore the effect of contact and non-contact forces and observe how forces affect their daily lives. Outcomes Stage 4/5 Stage 6 A student: A student: recognises the role of science in personal, social and global issues relating to questions and hypotheses for scientific investigation SCLS6-1 everyday life SCLS-1VA plans an investigation individually or collaboratively to obtain primary or demonstrates a willingness to engage with science-related issues relevant to secondary data and information SCLS6-2 their lives SCLS-3VA participates in investigations individually or collaboratively to collect primary or asks questions that can be tested and makes predictions SCLS-4WS secondary data and information SCLS6-3 participates in an investigation by following a sequence SCLS-6WS collects and represents qualitative or quantitative data and information using collects, records and interprets data and information SCLS-7WS media as appropriate SCLS6-4 uses a variety of strategies to communicate information an investigation develops conclusions from primary or secondary data and information SCLS6-5 SCLS-9WS uses strategies to solve scientific problems SCLS6-6 explores a range of forces in everyday situations SCLS-10PW identifies how primary or secondary data is used in scientific investigations SCLS6-8 uses patterns and trends in data to make observations and draw conclusions SCLS6-9 investigates technologies used in science SCLS6-12 Working Scientifically skills In this unit, students will have opportunities to develop skills in planning and conducting investigations to test questions, and to collect, represent and draw conclusions from data and information gathered in relation to forces and motion. The conclusions gathered from investigations where possible are applied to practical situations, such as the use of seat belts and vehicle braking distance. Note: This unit includes practical investigations and possible fieldwork activities. Teachers will need to comply with legislation, guidelines and system and school requirements in relation to student safety.
