Curriculum Mapping

Australian Curriculum (v9.0) content description: Year 9 Science

Represent the carbon cycle and examine how key processes including combustion, photosynthesis and respiration rely on interactions between Earth’s spheres (the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere)(AC9S9U03)

Year 9 Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 9 students explain how interactions within and between Earth’s spheres affect the carbon cycle. They analyse energy conservation in simple systems and apply wave and particle models to describe energy transfer. They explain observable chemical processes in terms of changes in atomic structure, atomic rearrangement and mass.
