Elaboration (2) ACSSU188

describing how the evolution of the universe, including the formation of galaxies and stars, has continued since the Big Bang

Elaboration (7) ACSSU189

investigating how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples are reducing Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions through the reinstatement of traditional fire management regimes (OI.5, OI.9)

Elaboration ACSSU189

investigating how human activity affects global systems

Elaboration (1) ACSSU189

modelling a cycle, such as the water, carbon, nitrogen or phosphorus cycle within the biosphere

Elaboration (2) ACSSU189

explaining the causes and effects of the greenhouse effect

Elaboration (3) ACSSU189

investigating the effect of climate change on sea levels and biodiversity

Elaboration (4) ACSSU189

considering the long-term effects of loss of biodiversity

Elaboration (5) ACSSU189

investigating currently occurring changes to permafrost and sea ice and the impacts of these changes

Elaboration (6) ACSSU189

examining the factors that drive the deep ocean currents, their role in regulating global climate, and their effects on marine life

Elaboration ACSSU190

recognising that the Law of Conservation of Energy explains that total energy is maintained in energy transfer and transformation

Elaboration (1) ACSSU190

recognising that in energy transfer and transformation, a variety of processes can occur, so that the usable energy is reduced and the system is not 100% efficient

Elaboration (2) ACSSU190

comparing energy changes in interactions such as car crashes, pendulums, lifting and dropping

Elaboration (3) ACSSU190

using models to describe how energy is transferred and transformed within systems

Elaboration (4) ACSSU229

investigating how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples achieve an increase in velocity and subsequent impact force through the use of spear throwers and bows (OI.5)

Elaboration ACSSU229

gathering data to analyse everyday motions produced by forces, such as measurements of distance and time, speed, force, mass and acceleration

Elaboration (1) ACSSU229

recognising that a stationary object, or a moving object with constant motion, has balanced forces acting on it

Elaboration (2) ACSSU229

using Newton’s Second Law to predict how a force affects the movement of an object

Elaboration (3) ACSSU229

recognising and applying Newton’s Third Law to describe the effect of interactions between two objects

investigating how prior to germ theory Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples used their scientific observations to develop traditional medicines to treat wounds and infections of the skin (OI.5)

Elaboration ACSHE191

considering the role of different sources of evidence including biochemical, anatomical and fossil evidence for evolution by natural selection
