Life Systems |
- Students develop a shared understanding of the characteristics
and behaviour of living things, and how they are interrelated
and interdependent. They appreciate and report on the place of
humans in the earth's ecology, and develop their own understanding
of, and explore future possibilities for, and act to contribute
to, sustainable environments.
- Students examine the ways organisms reproduce, grow and change
over generations. They engage with, and appreciate different positions
on, ethical issues such as those associated with ecological sustainability
and gene technologies.

Place Space and Environment |
- Students work cooperatively with others or in teams to discuss
points of view and arguments about particular events or issues,
in order to consider the values associated with them and to explore
ways in which future change or continuity can be influenced.
- Students access, investigate, interpret and represent information
from field work, electronic systems and other research, in order
to explain local and global interactions and relationships between
people and environments.
- Students discuss environmental, conservation or resource issues,
and individually and/or in teams, collaboratively develop strategies
to bring about positive change in the local community.
