Science capabilities
The capabilities focus is brought about by the conversations you have and the questions you ask.
Capability: Interpret representations
Scientists represent their ideas in a variety of ways, including models, graphs, charts, diagrams and written texts. This resource provides opportunities to discuss and analyse particular science representations e.g., models of glaciers. Students also make predictions about how an area on the diagram will change with a change in temperature.
