Concrete sculpture – AT
In prior learning activities, students learnt concepts and performed experiments relating to chemical and physical changes. They performed a research investigation into the rock cycle with a particular focus on the processes of weathering and erosion. This …

Expansion - Above
Prior to the sample task, students had explored states of matter focusing on how the particle model explains matter in its different states at a molecular level. They had completed various inquiries relating to the particle model including kinaesthetic …
