Changes are events or developments from the past that represent modifications, alterations and transformations. ☒ Cause and effect The relationship between a factor or set of factors (cause/s) and consequence/s (effect/s). These form sequences of events and developments over time. ☒ Perspectives A point of view or position from which events are seen and understood, and influenced by age, gender, culture, social position and beliefs and values. ☒ Empathy An understanding of the past from the point of view of the participant/s, including an appreciation of the circumstances faced, and the motivations, values and attitudes behind actions. ☒ Significance The importance that is assigned to particular aspects of the past, such as events, developments, movements and historical sites, and includes an examination of the principles behind the selection of what should be investigated and remembered. ☒ Contestability Debate about particular interpretations of the past as a result of the nature of available evidence and/or different perspectives. Achievement standard By the end of Year 9, students refer to key events and the actions of individuals and groups to explain patterns of change and continuity over time. They analyse
