Living World LW 1 2 3 5 There are differences within and between groups of organisms; classification helps organise this diversity. Cells are the basic units of living things and have specialised structures and functions. Multicellular organisms contain systems of organs that carry out specialised functions that enable them to survive and reproduce. Scientific knowledge changes as new evidence becomes available, and some scientific discoveries have significantly changed people s understanding of the world. Science and technology contribute to finding solutions to conserving and managing sustainable ecosystems. Chemical World CW 1 2 3 The properties of the different states of matter can be explained in terms of the motion and arrangement of particles. Scientific knowledge and developments in technology have changed our understanding of the structure and properties of matter. Mixtures, including solutions, contain a combination of pure substances that can be separated using a range of techniques. In a chemical change, new substances are formed, which may have specific properties related to their uses in everyday life. ES 1 2 3 Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks contain minerals and are formed by processes that occur within Earth over a variety of timescales. Scientific knowledge changes as new evidence becomes available. Some technological developments and scientific discoveries have significantly changed people s understanding of the solar system. Scientific knowledge influences the choices people make in regard to the use and management of the Earth s resources. Science understanding influences the development of practices in areas of human activity such as industry, agriculture and marine and terrestrial resource management. Physical World PW 1 2 3 Change to an object s motion is caused by unbalanced forces acting on the object. The action of forces that act at a distance may be observed and related to everyday situations. Energy appears in different forms including movement (kinetic energy), heat and potential energy, and causes change within systems. Science and technology contribute to finding solutions to a range of contemporary issues; these solutions may impact on other areas of society and involve ethical considerations.

Living World LW 1 2 3 Multicellular organisms rely on coordinated and interdependent internal systems to respond to changes in their environment. Conserving and maintaining the quality and sustainability of the environment requires scientific understanding of interactions within, the cycling of matter and the flow of energy through ecosystems. Advances in scientific understanding often rely on developments in technology, and technological advances are often linked to scientific discoveries. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains the diversity of living things and is supported by a range of scientific evidence. Chemical World CW 1 2 3 Scientific understanding changes and is refined over time through a process of review by the scientific community. The atomic structure and properties of elements are used to organise them in the Periodic Table. Chemical reactions involve rearranging atoms to form new substances; during a chemical reaction mass is not created or destroyed. Different types of chemical reactions are used to produce a range of products and can occur at different rates and involve energy transfer. ES 1 2 3 Scientific understanding, including models and theories, are contestable and are refined over time through a process of review by the scientific community. The theory of plate tectonics explains global patterns of geological activity and continental movement. People use scientific knowledge to evaluate claims, explanations or predictions in relation to interactions involving the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere. Physical World PW 1 2 3 Energy transfer through different mediums can be explained using wave and particle models. The motion of objects can be described and predicted using the laws of physics. Scientific understanding of current electricity has resulted in technological developments designed to improve the efficiency in generation and use of electricity. Energy conservation in a system can be explained by describing energy transfers and transformations.
