Living Things
"The study of the characteristics, systems and behaviours of humans and other animals, and of plants; the interactions and relationships between and among them, and with their environment."
(Science Scope and Sequence)

Responsibility
People make choices based on their understandings, and the actions they take as a result do make a difference.

# data[].attributes.body
Key Concept: Responsibility
"We have a responsibility to the world in which we live. This involves being aware of how scientific knowledge can be used to improve or worsen the quality of life of all living things. Responsibility entails action as well as awareness."

Measurement
Conceptual Understandings:

Accuracy of measurements depends on the situation and the precision of the tool

Conversion of units and measurements allows us to make sense of the world we live in

A range of procedures exists to measure different attributes of objects and events

Objects and events have attributes that can be measured using appropriate tools

Relationships exist between standard units that measure the same attributes

Manipulation of shape and space takes place for a particular purpose

Geometric tools and methods can be used to solve problems relating to shape and space

# data[].attributes.body
When constructing meaning, students:

Understand procedures for finding area, perimeter and volume

Understand unit conversions within measurements systems (metric or customary)

Understand the use of standard units to measure perimeter, area and volume

Understand that measures can fall between numbers on a measurement scale, for example, 3½ kg, between 4 cm and 5 cm

Understand relationships between units, for example, metres, centimetres and millimetres

Understand the common language used to describe shapes

Understand the properties of regular and irregular polygons Understand that visualization of shape and space is a strategy for solving problems

Understand that 2D representations of 3D objects can be used to visualise and solve problems

Understand an angle as a measure of rotation

Understand that geometric ideas and relationships can be used to solve problems in other areas of mathematics and in real life

When transferring meaning into symbols, students:

Develop and describe formulas for finding perimeter, area and volume

Read and interpret scales on a range of measuring instruments

Carry out simple unit conversions within a system of measurement (metric or customary)

Estimate and measure using standard units of measurement: perimeter, area and volume

Describe measures that fall between numbers on a scale

Read and write digital and analogue time on 12-hour and 24-hour clocks

Analyse, describe, classify and visualise 2D (including circles, triangles and quadrilaterals) and 3D shapes, using geometric vocabulary

Sort, describe and model regular and irregular polygons

Create and model how a 2D net converts into a 3D shape and vice versa

Describe and/or represent mental images of objects, patterns and paths

Measure and construct angles in degrees using a protractor

Describe lines and angles using geometric vocabulary

When applying with understanding, students:

Select and use appropriate units of measurement and tools to solve problems in real-life situations

Determine and justify the level of accuracy required to solve real-life problems involving measurement

Use decimal and fractional notation in measurement, for example, 3.2 cm, 1.47 kg, 1½ miles

Use standard units of measurement to solve problems in real-life situations involving perimeter, area and volume Select appropriate tools and units of measurement

Use standard units of measurement to solve problems in real-life situations involving perimeter, area and volume

Use timetables and schedules (12-hour and 24-hour clocks) in real-life situations

Use geometric vocabulary when describing shape and space in mathematical situations and beyond

Analyse and describe 2D and 3D shapes, including regular and irregular polygons, using geometrical vocabulary

Use 2D representations of 3D objects to visualize and solve problems, for example using drawings or models
