Students learn about reversible and irreversible physical and chemical changes in the context of food preparation and cooking. They apply this knowledge to design and participate in a food experience.

Students learn about the role of the components in an electrical circuit and how they affect the transfer and transformation of energy. Using the context of blackouts, students explore how switches work and design prototype backup electrical circuits.

Students use scientific models to explore phenomena on Earth involving the relative position of the Sun and Moon, such as day and night, variable day length and the phases of the Moon. They explore the wider solar system and consider the scientific and technological innovations that have enabled humans to study space.
