    Planning and conducting
    Collaboratively and individually plan and conduct a range of investigation types, including fieldwork and experiments, ensuring safety and ethical guidelines are
    followed (ACSIS125)
    In fair tests, measure and control variables, and select equipment to collect data with accuracy appropriate to the task (ACSIS126)
    Processing and analysing data and information
    Construct and use a range of representations, including graphs, keys and models to represent and analyse patterns or relationships, including using digital technologies
    as appropriate (ACSIS129)
    Summarise data, from students own investigations and secondary sources, and use scientific understanding to identify relationships and draw conclusions (ACSIS130)
    Evaluating
    Reflect on the method used to investigate a question or solve a problem, including evaluating the quality of the data collected, and identify improvements to the
    method (ACSIS131)
    Use scientific knowledge and findings from investigations to evaluate claims (ACSIS132)
    Communicating
    Communicate ideas, findings and solutions to problems using scientific language and representations using digital technologies as appropriate (ACSIS133)

    1. Define what is meant by a solution and identify the


    solvent and solute in a variety of common solutions.
    2. Introduce the terms solubility, concentration, dilute,
    concentrated and saturated.
    3. Test the solubility of a variety of substances in water.

    Separating Soluble Substances

    Term 2
    Week 2

    Review the following methods for separating substances:


    Evaporation
    Distillation
    Chromatography
    In each case provide students with the theory behind each separation
    technique, practical experience with each technique and discuss realworld applications of each technique..
    As a final investigative task have students devise a way to separate a
    mixture that requires combining more than one separation technique
    e.g. a mixture of sand, iron filings and salt.

    Separating Insoluble Substances

    Term 2
    Week 3

    Assessment Type

    Review the following methods for separating insoluble substance:


    Sieving
    Decanting
    Filtration
    Gravitational Separation
    Magnetic Separation
    Centrifugal Separation
    In each case provide students with the theory behind each separation
    technique, practical experience with each technique and discuss realworld applications of each technique.
