Bees - Australian Curriculum Links
Year 4 Science
Science Understanding - Biological Sciences
Living things have life cycles (ACSSU072)
Year 5 Science
Science Understanding - Biological Sciences
Living things have structural features and adaptations that help them to survive in their environment (ACSSU043)
Year 6 Science
Science Understanding - Biological Sciences
The growth and survival of living things are affected by physical conditions of their environment (ACSSU094 )
Year 7
Science Understanding - Biological Sciences
Interactions between organisms, including the effects of human activities can be represented by food chains and food webs (ACSSU112)
SUSTAINABILITY CROSS-CURRICULUM PRIORITY
OI.2 All life forms, including human life, are connected through ecosystems on which they depend for their wellbeing and survival.
OI.3 Sustainable patterns of living rely on the interdependence of healthy social, economic and ecological systems.
OI.7 Actions for a more sustainable future reflect values of care, respect and responsibility, and require us to explore and understand environments.
OI.8 Designing action for sustainability requires an evaluation of past practices, the assessment of scientific and technological developments, and balanced judgements based on projected future economic, social and environmental impacts.
OI.9 Sustainable futures result from actions designed to preserve and/or restore the quality and uniqueness of environments.
Science Understanding - Biological Sciences
Living things have life cycles (ACSSU072)
- describing the stages of life cycles of different living things such as insects, birds, frogs and flowering plants
- recognising that environmental factors can affect life cycles such as fire and seed germination
- investigating the roles of living things in a habitat, for instance producers, consumers or decomposers
- predicting the effects when living things in feeding relationships are removed or die out in an area
- recognising that interactions between living things may be competitive or mutually beneficial

Interactions between organisms, including the effects of human activities can be represented by food chains and food webs (ACSSU112)
- using food chains to show feeding relationships in a habitat
- constructing and interpreting food webs to show relationships between organisms in an environment
- investigating the effect of human activity on local habitats, such as deforestation, agriculture or the introduction of new species
