Planning and conducting
Based on the Australian Curriculum, Planning and conducting in Science Year 5 includes:
- ACSIS087 Decide variables to be changed and measured in fair tests, and observe measure and record data with accuracy using digital technologies as appropriate
- ACSIS086 Identify, plan and apply the elements of scientific investigations to answer questions and solve problems using equipment and materials safely and identifying potential risks
