    The Australian Curriculum for Year 6 Science covers several sub-strands including biological sciences, chemical sciences, earth and space sciences, and physical sciences. It describes the content students should learn, such as how living things are affected by their environment, reversible and irreversible changes to materials, and how electrical circuits transfer and transform electricity. It also lists the science inquiry skills students should develop, such as planning investigations, collecting and analyzing data, and communicating findings. The achievement standard outlines what students should know and be able to do, including classifying changes to materials, explaining environmental impacts, and using science to inform decisions.

    Biological sciences The growth and survival of living things are affected by the physical conditions of their environment (ACSSU094) By the end of Year 6, students compare and
    classify different types of observable changes to
    materials. They analyse requirements for the
    Chemical sciences Changes to materials can be reversible, such as melting, freezing, evaporating; or irreversible, such as burning and rusting (ACSSU095) transfer of electricity and describe how energy can

    generate electricity. They explain how natural
    Earth and space sciences Sudden geological changes or extreme weather conditions can affect Earths surface (ACSSU096) events cause rapid change to the Earths surface.
    They describe and predict the effect of
    environmental changes on individual living things.
    Physical sciences Electrical circuits provide a means of transferring and transforming electricity (ACSSU097) Students explain how scientific knowledge is used
    Energy from a variety of sources can be used to generate electricity (ACSSU219) in decision making and identify contributions to the
    development of science by people from a range of
    Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena (ACSHE098) cultures.
