Victorian Curriculum
VC2S2H01
scientific knowledge is based on observations of the natural world using the senses, and scientific tools and instruments
- exploring what an observation is, and different ways to make observations using the 5 senses, through guided discussion
- viewing examples of observations, for example recorded in rock paintings, bark drawings, age-appropriate written reports, labelled drawings or photographs, to explore ways that people make and record observations
- listening to people involved in scientific work – such as arborists, nurses, engineers and meteorologists – and asking questions about the importance of observations in their work
- interacting with stories or documentaries about scientists and noticing the ways that they make their observations, such as through drawings, collections, sound recordings and photography, and how they ask questions about what they think they will observe and find
- recognising that astronomers use patterns of movement of celestial objects, such as stars and comets, in the sky to make predictions about future appearances
