Science Years 7–10 Syllabus (2018)
For Years 7 to 10, educational programs are based on the outcomes of syllabuses. The content provides detail about how the outcomes can be interpreted and used, and the intended learning appropriate for the stage. In considering meaningful learning within local contexts, teachers will make decisions about the sequence, the emphasis to be given to particular areas of content, and any adjustments required based on the needs, interests and abilities of their students.
