32 Science as a Human ACSHE Scientific understanding, including models and theories, is contestable and is refined over time through a process of review by the scientific community Advances in scientific understanding often rely on developments in technology and technological advances are often linked to scientific discoveries People use scientific knowledge to evaluate whether they accept claims, explanations or predictions, and advances in science can affect people s lives, including generating new career opportunities Values and needs of contemporary society can influence the focus of scientific research Biology Chemistry ACSSU Multi-cellular organisms rely on coordinated and interdependent internal systems to respond to changes to their environment Ecosystems consist of communities of interdependent organisms and abiotic components of the environment; matter and energy flow through these systems All matter is made of atoms that are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons; natural radioactivity arises from the decay of nuclei in atoms Chemical reactions involve rearranging atoms to form new substances; during a chemical reaction mass is not created or destroyed Chemical reactions, including combustion and the reactions of acids, are important in both non-living and living systems and involve energy transfer The theory of plate tectonics explains global patterns of geological activity and continental movement Energy transfer through different mediums can be explained using wave and particle models Science Inquiry Skills ACSIS Formulate questions or hypotheses that can be investigated scientifically Plan, select and use appropriate investigation types, including field work and laboratory experimentation, to collect reliable data; assess risk and address ethical issues associated with these methods Select and use appropriate equipment, including digital technologies, to collect and record data systematically and accurately Analyse patterns and trends in data, including describing relationships between variables and identifying inconsistencies Use knowledge of scientific concepts to draw conclusions that are consistent with evidence Evaluate conclusions, including identifying sources of uncertainty and possible alternative explanations, and describe specific ways to improve the quality of the data Critically analyse the validity of information in primary and secondary sources and evaluate the approaches used to solve problems Communicate scientific ideas and information for a particular purpose, including constructing evidence-based arguments and using appropriate scientific language, conventions and representations Stile Education 32
