- ULO1 Describe the roles of producers, consumers and decomposers within an ecosystem and represent the feeding relationships between them using food chains (and food webs). Science understanding — Biological sciences understand
- ULO2 Explain that processed materials, including fibres, metals, glass and plastics, are made from raw materials such as wool, ores, sand and oil, and relate the physical properties of a material to how it is used. Science understanding — Chemical sciences understand
- ULO3 Explain how weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition cause slow or rapid change to Earth's surface, and distinguish between mechanical, chemical and biological weathering. Science understanding — Earth and space sciences understand
- ULO4 Explain that forces are exerted by one object on another through direct contact, such as friction, or from a distance, such as magnetism and gravity, and identify balanced and unbalanced forces from their observed effects. Science understanding — Physical sciences understand
- ULO5 Pose questions and make predictions based on planned observations that include a variable to be changed and measured; plan and conduct investigations that include elements of fair tests, considering material and equipment risks; and make and record observations, including formal measurements using familiar scaled instruments. Science inquiry — Questioning, predicting, planning and conducting apply
- ULO6 Organise and represent data using tables, column graphs and models to identify patterns; compare findings with those of others and with predictions; consider whether an investigation was fair; and identify questions for further investigation. Science inquiry — Processing, modelling, analysing and evaluating analyze
- ULO7 Communicate ideas, procedures and findings using scientific vocabulary and appropriate text types, and use science knowledge to propose explanations for observed phenomena and solutions to problems, working collaboratively with others. Science inquiry — Communicating, collaborating and applying apply
