data and information can be organised and represented to identify patterns and simple relationships by constructing tables, graphs and visual or physical models
- using graphic organisers to compare the properties of solids and liquids
- using virtual or role-play food chain simulations to investigate effects of the changing numbers of producers or consumers in a habitat
- constructing pictorial maps to illustrate the locations of different climates across Australia
- constructing a table that compares the measured distances moved by an object over surfaces that have different frictional forces
- constructing a column graph that records the properties of a range of natural and made materials
- using column graphs to show melting time for ice in containers with different insulating layers
