Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the same curriculum points will be covered, but the activities may vary from those listed for face-to-face incursions. Our online classes include demonstrations, Q&A, and hands-on activities (you will receive a materials list upon booking). Full child protections are in place We usually connect to classes & homes via Zoom, however if you wish to use a different software we can work with you on getting the connection live. If you connect with us via Zoom Full system requirements for Zoom here Each student should test their Zoom connection here. Once the date & time is arranged we will send you simple connection instructions (one click & you’re in!)

a liquid, which has a definite volume but not a definite shape; and a gas, which has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume Describe how adding and removing heat energy affects the movement and arrangement of particles when matter is changing state ST2-PQU-01 poses questions to create fair tests that investigate the effects of energy on living things and physical systems Stage 3 ST3-SCI-01 uses evidence to explain how scientific knowledge can be used to develop sustainable practices Pose questions to determine whether substances dissolve in water by identifying variables and conducting and evaluating fair tests ST3-PQU-01 poses questions to identify variables and conducts fair tests to gather data NSW K – 10 Science Syllabus mapping for all our incursions Print a PDF which details K to 6 mapping of all our science visits VIC Curriculum F–10 Version 2.0 Science For explanatory points & implementation advice for each dot point, please visit the VIC Curriculum F-10 site. Levels 3 & 4 solids, liquids and gases have observable properties; adding or removing heat energy leads to a change of state between solids, liquids and gases. VC2S4U04 heat energy can be generated from different sources; temperature changes may happen when heat is transferred from one object to another. VC2S4U09 scientific investigations to answer questions or test predictions can be planned and conducted using provided scaffolds, including identifying the attributes of fair tests, and considering the safe use of materials and equipment. VC2S4I02 Levels 5 & 6 the observable properties of matter (solids, liquids and gases) can be explained by modelling the motion and arrangement of their particles; mixtures (including solutions) can be formed by combining 2 or more different substances. VC2S6U03 changes to substances may be reversible, in which case the substance may be recovered, or irreversible, in which case new substances are formed; for most substances a change of state or dissolving in water is reversible, while irreversible changes include cooking and rusting. VC2S6U04 repeatable scientific investigations to answer questions can be planned and conducted, including, as appropriate, deciding the variables to be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests, considering potential risks, planning for the safe and ethical use of equipment and materials, and obtaining permissions for investigations conducted on Country and Place or in protected areas.
