 In order to refine the Australian Curriculum Science, ACARA needed to be more explicit about what was required of teachers to teach and students to learn. The Science Curriculum has always been structured around three strands, Science Understanding, Science as a Human Endeavour and Science Inquiry Skills. For this review of the Australian Curriculum, ACARA have reviewed those three strands and made changes in each strand. We've actually renamed the Science Inquiry Skills strand to ensure that we're focusing on both the cognitive and the skills aspects of Science Inquiry Practices. It's really important that students understand what sits behind the skills that they're enacting because having that understanding enables you to select the right skill for the right context and to carry that with you into other contexts which may be less familiar to you. Previously, the content descriptions were written as big ideas. That meant they were quite open-ended and teachers needed to work out for themselves what was an age-appropriate interpretation of that big idea for their students. Now the content descriptions are much more explicit. They clearly articulate what it is that students need to know or be able to do at that level of schooling. It's really important that students have the opportunity to go into depth with the topics that they're learning. And so in particular we've looked at the Foundation to Year 6 curriculum to make sure that students have the time to really explore those concepts. We've also looked at how we can align the three strands of science to ensure that students are able to really deeply engage with Science Inquiry within each area of the science understanding content and to think about how science and society work together through the lens of science as a human endeavour. It's really important we hear your views. Your responses will help shape an Australian curriculum for the next generation of children. To give your feedback simply complete the survey. Thank you.
