Outcomes

ST2-7PW: Describes everyday

interactions between objects that
result from contact and noncontact forces.
ST2-10LW: describes that living
things have life cycles, can be
distinguished from non-living
things and grouped, based on
their observable features.
ST-14BE: describe how people
interact within built environments
and the factors considered in
their design and construction.

Indicators
SCIENCE
Investigate the effect of forces on the
behaviour of objects, eg dropping,
bouncing or rolling objects
Observe the way the force of gravity pulls
objects towards the Earth, eg dropping
objects from different heights
Identify and use patterns in the observable
features of living things to group them, by
using tables, diagrams or flowcharts.
Examine some built environments and
identify some factors that have been
considered in their design.

Demonstrate that the rotation of the Earth

on its axis is the cause of night and day, eg
by using models of the Earth and sun.
Describe local seasonal changes that occur
as a result of the Earth's movement around
the sun.
ST2-16P: describes how

designed from recycled PET bottles.
ST2-5WT: Applies a design Using creative thinking techniques,
process and uses a range of tools, including brainstorming, mind-mapping,
equipment,
materials
and sketching and modelling
techniques to produce solutions
that address specific design
criteria.
ST2-9ES: Describes how
relationships between the sun
and the Earth cause regular
changes.

ST2-4WS: Investigates their

questions and predictions by
analysing collected data,
suggesting explanations for their
findings, and communicating and
reflecting on the processes
undertaken.
MA2-3WM: checks the accuracy
of a statement and explains the
reasoning used.
MA2-12MG: measures, records,
compares and estimates the
masses of objects using
kilograms and grams
MA2-1WM: uses appropriate
terminology to describe, and
symbols to represent, qualities of
subject matter.
GYS2.10: Demonstrates control
in performing sequences of
introductory gymnastic
movements.
ALS2.6: Discusses the
relationship between regular and
varied physical activity and
health.
VAS2.2: uses the forms to
suggest the qualities of subject
matter.
ENS2.6: Describes people's

Following the planned method, adjusting

procedures as necessary, including
exploration, fieldwork, surveys and
researching secondary sources
Safely using appropriate materials, tools or
equipment to make and record
observations, using formal measurements
and digital technologies as appropriate
MATHEMATICS
Collects data and creates a list or table to
organise data.
Compare and order two or more objects by
mass measured to the nearest kilogram
Creates symmetrical patterns, designs,
pictures and shapes.
PDHPE
Takes weight on different body parts to
perform a series of static balances
demonstrating different shapes, eg tuck sit,
front and rear support with stretched,
tucked, twisted shapes
Identifies factors that influence
participation in physical activity.
CREATIVE ARTS
Select and explore different aspects of
subject matter in particular ways in their
making of artworks.
HSIE
Identifies processes used by people to
