TERM 3 INQUIRY (PHYSICS FOCUS) Students participate in a variety of experiments focusing on the concepts of energy and electricity. Students explore the concepts of static and current electricity, circuits and energy transformations. They also compare the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods of electricity generation both in Australia and globally. They plan, design and build a working model or game using an electric circuit to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts covered. TERM 4 INQUIRY (HISTORY FOCUS) Students explore the social and political conditions of Australia ’ s early colonial period, including the influence and contributions of key figures that ultimately led to the development of Australia as a nation. Students sequence events in Australian History by creating timelines and investigate the key figures on Australian banknotes, identifying their historical context, significance and changes they made on our society. Students will design a new bank note by identifying and explaining a past event, person or group that has been significant in the foundation of the Australia we know today. Using sources of evidence, historical research and key symbols, students will communicate their understanding through the presentation of their design.
