Science // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Life Changed Over TimeRecognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about organisms that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago
Ages 10 to 11ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Dinosaur-to-Bird TransitionTrace the evidence for the dinosaur-to-bird transition in depth: feathered theropods from the Liaoning Formation (China), the mix of dinosaur and bird features…
Ages 11 to 13ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Radiometric DatingExplain how radiometric dating works — radioactive isotopes decay at a known rate (half-life), so measuring the ratio of parent to daughter isotope in a rock or…
Ages 11 to 13ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Reconstructing Ancient EcosystemsReconstruct an ancient ecosystem using multiple independent lines of evidence: isotope analysis of teeth to infer diet and migration, bone histology (growth…
Ages 12 to 14MethodScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Mass Extinctions in Earth HistoryCompare the five major mass extinction events in Earth history (End-Ordovician, Late Devonian, End-Permian, End-Triassic, K-Pg), describe proposed kill…
Ages 12 to 14ConceptScience // Dinosaurs & Paleontology
Megafauna Extinction & De-ExtinctionEvaluate the debate over what drove Pleistocene megafauna to extinction — human overkill, climate change, or a combination — using evidence from fossil records…
Ages 13 to 14Thinking skillScience // Earth's Systems
Seasonal changesObserve changes across the four seasons and describe weather associated with each season, including how day length varies
Ages 5 to 6ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Local weather patternsUse and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions
Ages 5 to 6MethodScience // Earth's Systems
How Organisms Shape HabitatsConstruct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals can change the environment to meet their needs
Ages 5 to 6ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Shapes of land and waterDevelop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land (mountains, valleys, plains) and bodies of water (rivers, lakes, oceans) in an area
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Where water is found on EarthIdentify where water is found on Earth and understand that water can exist as solid (ice) or liquid, recognising water in oceans, rivers, glaciers, and…
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Properties of materialsCompare and group different kinds of rocks based on their appearance and simple physical properties such as hardness, texture, and colour
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
How fossils formDescribe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock over millions of years
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Preventing ErosionCompare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land
Ages 7 to 8MethodScience // Earth's Systems
Evaporation and condensationName and use vocabulary for the water cycle — evaporation, condensation, precipitation, collection, transpiration, water vapour, runoff, groundwater — and…
Ages 7 to 9LanguageScience // Earth's Systems
Rocks and soilRecognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter, and that different soils have different properties
Ages 7 to 8ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Weather vs climateObtain and combine information to describe climates in different regions of the world, distinguishing between weather and climate
Ages 8 to 9ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Seasonal changes (age 8+)Represent data in tables and graphical displays to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season
Ages 8 to 9MethodScience // Earth's Systems
Finding patterns in dataAnalyse and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth's features, recognising that many features result from processes that occur over long periods
Ages 9 to 10ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Erosion and weatheringMake observations and measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation
Ages 9 to 10MethodScience // Earth's Systems
Types of rocksUse vocabulary for Earth's geological processes and rock types — igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, erosion, weathering, deposition, fossil, sediment, strata…
Ages 9 to 11LanguageScience // Earth's Systems
Earth's atmosphereDevelop a model to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact as connected Earth systems
Ages 10 to 11ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Salt Water vs Fresh WaterDescribe and graph the amounts of salt water and fresh water in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth
Ages 10 to 11ConceptScience // Earth's Systems
Rock layers and Earth's historyInterpret cross-section diagrams of the Earth's interior, geological strata, and rock cycle; read and label layers (crust, mantle, outer core, inner core)…
