 * Science 1 Wonderment & Awe + Communicating**

fantastic and overwhelmingly complex. || Our world is amazing, and we take many processes and activities for granted || Patterns and systems show complex interdependencies || Earth systems that appear simple are usually very complex when examined in detail || We simplify complexity to form scientific models and help us understand what we observe || our world and see what is happening we learn that it is amazing! || We are dependent on many things happening, which we take for granted. If one did not (eg. sun rising or rain falling) we would be in trouble || Simple things – rain falling, breathing, planes flying – are complex, but some core ideas can help us understand how things happen || Accurate models help us understand what happens, so we should always try to refine and improve them via new discoveries ||
 * ** Wonderment & Awe ** || **Level 1** || **Level 2** || **Level 3** || **Level 4** ||
 * Our world is wonderfully
 * **Learning Intention** || If we carefully observe
 * **Context** || Animals, birds, plants, forest, bush, sea || Eco-systems, Night & Day, Weather, Life Cycles || Gravity, Flight, Heat, Forces & Motion, Photosynthesis || Observation, Experiments ||

 * **Sustainability** ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * Science focuses on appreciating as well as understanding our world ||  || We don’t know how everything works or why things happen the way they do ||   || Science ideas change, resulting in new models of understanding, so we aim to be critically adaptable to new ideas ||
 * **Learning Intention** ||  || There are so many things we do not understand yet and any one of you could make a new discovery ||   || To be a scientist means being open to new and novel ideas, then testing whether they explain what is observed ||
 * **Context** ||  || Experiments, Observations, Testing ||   || Evaluate Experiments, Testing ||

 * **Communicating in Science** || **Level 1** || **Level 2** || **Level 3** || **Level 4** ||
 * Science is communicated via a wide range of media formats which appeal to different senses || Science ideas are communicated using many different media || Some science ideas are hard to describe using a single media type ||  || Many science ideas are abstract and need multimedia prompts in to help us understand them ||
 * **Learning Intention** || We see science ideas communicated in many different ways such as television, books and the internet || Due to size or time frames, many scientific ideas are hard to visualise, but using various media can help ||  || Animations can help us appreciate science ideas we find hard to understand ||
 * **Context** || Internet, Books, TV, ICT || Multimedia Presentations ||  || Animation, Multimedia, ICT ||

 * **Sustainability** ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * Science has its own language and the use of scientific language underpins science understanding ||  || Scientific language needs to be precise || Scientific language is used to categorise and show sequence || Interpreting and applying the language of science lets us understand and communicate its ideas ||
 * **Learning Intention** ||  || Science has a large and specific vocabulary with which to communicate accurately || A lot of science words describe how ideas and things are categorised or sequenced || Science requires a very specific language for it to be understood and communicated ||
 * **Context** ||  || Using Scientific Language, Reporting || Labelling diagrams, Reports || Reports/ICT ||
