Coverage of the Australian Curriculum

The online courses are aligned with Version 9.0 of the Australian Curriculum.

Year 10 Chemistry – Science Understanding

• Explain how the structure and properties of atoms relate to the organisation of the elements in the periodic table (AC9S10U06).
• Identify patterns in synthesis, decomposition and displacement reactions and investigate the factors that affect reaction rates (AC9S10U07).

Year 10 Biology – Science Understanding

• Explain the role of meiosis and mitosis and the function of chromosomes, DNA and genes in heredity and predict patterns of Mendelian inheritance (AC9S10U01).
• Use the theory of evolution by natural selection to explain past and present diversity and analyse the scientific evidence supporting the theory (AC9S10U02).

Year 10 Physics – Science Understanding

• Investigate Newton’s laws of motion and quantitatively analyse the relationship between force, mass and acceleration of objects (AC9S10U05).

Year 10 Earth & Space – Science Understanding

• Describe how the big bang theory models the origin and evolution of the universe and analyse the supporting evidence for the theory (AC9S10U03).
• Use models of energy flow between the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere to explain patterns of global climate change (AC9S10U04).

 

Subscription Information

Class subscriptions last for one year from the date of student enrolment (not from the date of purchase). This means that subscriptions can be purchased the preceding year.

Subscriptions do not auto-renew.
