SciencesExperiences and outcomesThe sciences framework provides a range of different contexts for learning which draw on important aspects of everyday life and work.Learning in the sciences will enable me to: develop curiosity and understanding of the environment and my place in the living, material and physical worlddemonstrate a secure knowledge and understanding of the big ideas and concepts of the sciencesdevelop skills for learning, life and workdevelop the skills of scientific inquiry and investigation using practical techniquesdevelop skills in the accurate use of scientific language, formulae and equationsapply safety measures and take necessary actions to control risk and hazardsrecognise the impact the sciences make on my life, the lives of others, the environment and on societyrecognise the role of creativity and inventiveness in the development of the sciencesdevelop an understanding of the Earth’s resources and the need for responsible use of themexpress opinions and make decisions on social, moral, ethical, economic and environmental issues based upon sound understandingdevelop as a scientifically-literate citizen with a lifelong interest in the sciencesestablish the foundation for more advanced learning and future careers in the sciences and the technologies.Sciences: experiences and outcomes1

Planet EarthBiodiversityandinterdependenceLearners explore therich and changingdiversity of living thingsand develop theirunderstanding of howorganisms areinterrelated at local andglobal levels.
