Students learn about solids, liquids and gases, determine their properties and consider how their particulate arrangement relates to their properties and behaviour. They study science communication to communicate what they have learned.

Students learn about how light is transferred, how it helps them to see, and how reflections, shadows, and refraction occurs. They explore real-life applications by designing and/or making an artwork that utilises light in an artistic or celebratory capacity.

Students learn about changes to the Earth’s surface caused by weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition occurring over varying time scales. They design, and potentially test, an erosion control strategy for an area of need in their school/local environment.
