ACSPH078

Identify, research and construct questions for investigation; propose hypotheses; and predict possible outcomes

Design investigations, including the procedure to be followed, the materials required, and the type and amount of primary and/or secondary data to be collected; conduct risk assessments; and consider research ethics

ACSPH080

Conduct investigations, including the manipulation of force measurers and electromagnetic devices, safely, competently and methodically for the collection of valid and reliable data

ACSPH081

Represent data in meaningful and useful ways, including using appropriate SI units, symbols and significant figures; organise and analyse data to identify trends, patterns and relationships; identify sources of uncertainty and techniques to minimise these …

ACSPH082

Interpret a range of scientific and media texts, and evaluate processes, claims and conclusions by considering the accuracy and precision of available evidence; and use reasoning to construct scientific arguments Interpret a range of scientific and media …

ACSPH083

Select, construct and use appropriate representations, including text and graphic representations of empirical and theoretical relationships, vector diagrams, free body/force diagrams, field diagrams and circuit diagrams, to communicate conceptual understanding, …

ACSPH084

Select, use and interpret appropriate mathematical representations, including linear and non-linear graphs and algebraic relationships representing physical systems, to solve problems and make predictions

ACSPH085

Communicate to specific audiences and for specific purposes using appropriate language, nomenclature, genres and modes, including scientific reports

ACSPH086

ICT and other technologies have dramatically increased the size, accuracy and geographic and temporal scope of datasets with which scientists work

ACSPH087

Models and theories are contested and refined or replaced when new evidence challenges them, or when a new model or theory has greater explanatory power

ACSPH088

The acceptance of science understanding can be influenced by the social, economic and cultural context in which it is considered

ACSPH089

People can use scientific knowledge to inform the monitoring, assessment and evaluation of risk

ACSPH090

Science can be limited in its ability to provide definitive answers to public debate; there may be insufficient reliable data available, or interpretation of the data may be open to question

ACSPH091

International collaboration is often required when investing in large-scale science projects or addressing issues for the Asia-Pacific region

ACSPH092

Scientific knowledge can be used to develop and evaluate projected economic, social and environmental impacts and to design action for sustainability

ACSPH093

The movement of free-falling bodies in Earth’s gravitational field is predictable

ACSPH094

All objects with mass attract one another with a gravitational force; the magnitude of this force can be calculated using Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation

ACSPH095

Objects with mass produce a gravitational field in the space that surrounds them; field theory attributes the gravitational force on an object to the presence of a gravitational field

ACSPH096

When a mass moves or is moved from one point to another in a gravitational field and its potential energy changes, work is done on or by the field

ACSPH097

Gravitational field strength is defined as the net force per unit mass at a particular point in the field
