materials can be combined in a variety of ways for particular purposes; the properties of objects and mixtures can differ from the properties of the materials from which they are made
- predicting and comparing how different materials can be combined for different purposes
- investigating how food can be mixed to form different products such as jelly, ice cream and cake
- suggesting why different parts of everyday objects such as toys and clothes are made from different materials
- investigating the ways that Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples have constructed and continue to construct material culture for different purposes by combining different materials, for example sewing together possum pelts with sinew to make cloaks and decorating them with ochre or constructing contemporary jewellery that includes feathers, woven fibre technologies and shells
- investigating how different proportions of sand and water, as examples of mixtures, can affect the construction and stability of sandcastles
