- - - - Students will explore and investigate living things and their interdependence and interaction within ecosystems. Students will explore life cycles, body systems, structural adaptations and behaviors, how these features aid survival, and how their characteristics are inherited from one generation to the next (Australian Curriculum, 2018).

        The Ask a Biologist websites offers a fun interactive way for students can get involved in biology. The websites includes a long list of online and offline activities that link to the Australian curriculum.
    - - Students classify substances based on their properties, such as solids, liquids and gases, or their composition, such as elements, compounds and mixtures. Students will explore physical changes and also the relationship between the way in which atoms are arranged and the properties of substances, and the effect of energy transfers on these arrangements (Australian Curriculum, 2018)
        
        Jefferson Lab https://education.jlab.org/indexpages/elementgames.html offers teachers and students information about chemistry and provides a number of games and information videos about chemical reactions and balances.
    - - Students will explore the concept that the Earth is part of a solar system that is part of a larger universe. Students will explore how changes on Earth, such as day and night and the season, relate to Earth's rotation and its orbit around the sun. Students will have an appreciation how human activity influences the surface of the Earth and its atmosphere (Australian Curriculum, 2018).
        
        A basic website for students to become interested in space is http://www.spacescoop.org/en/. Students can access a range of photos and topics in regards of the universe and the technology used in space missions.
        
        .
    - - Students gain an understanding of how an object's motion (direction, speed and acceleration) is influenced by a range of contact and non-contact forces such as friction, magnetism, gravity and electrostatic forces. Students will appreciate the concept of force, motion, matter and energy apply to systems ranging in scale from atoms to the universe itself. (Australian Curriculum, 2018).

  - - - Together, the two strands provide students with knowledge, understanding and skills through which they can safely and ethically design, plan, manage, produce and evaluate products, services and environments. Teaching and learning programs should balance and integrate both strands. Students learn about technologies and society through different technologies contexts (knowledge and understanding) as they create designed solutions (processes and production skills).
