Coverage of the Australian Curriculum

The Years 10 science workbooks 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).
