INTENTIONS
Science Understanding / Chemical
sciences / Year 5
In this investigation, students explore the properties of gases and liquids.
They will follow instructions to predict the effect of changing a variable
when planning an investigation. They will use equipment in safe ways and
improve the accuracy of their results. Students will construct a table to
organise data. They will compare their data with their predictions and
describe the fairness of the investigation.
Learning Intentions
Students will be able to:
• suggest explanations for the observed properties of gases;
• identify when science is used to ask questions and make
predictions;
• discuss ways to conduct investigations and safely use
equipment to make and record observations;
• use tables to organise their data and identify patterns in data;
• suggest explanations for observations and compare their
findings with their predictions;
• suggest reasons why their methods were fair or not; and
• complete simple reports to communicate their methods
and findings.
