Science Understanding
Year 9
Physical Sciences:
Use wave and particle models to describe energy transfer through different mediums and examine the usefulness of each model for explaining phenomena (AC9S9U04)
Apply the law of conservation of energy to analyse system efficiency in terms of energy inputs, outputs, transfers and transformations (AC9S9U05)
Revision topics
Year 8
Physical Sciences:
Classify different types of energy as kinetic or potential and investigate energy transfer and transformations in simple systems (AC9S8U05)
Year 7
Chemical Sciences:
Use particle theory to describe the arrangement of particles in a substance, including the motion of and attraction between particles, and relate this to the properties of the substance (AC9S7U05)
