GENERAL CAPABILITIES

Literacy Numeracy Information and

Communication Technology Critical and Creative Thinking

Students become literate as they develop the skills to learn and communicate confidently at school and to become effective individuals, community members, workers and citizens. These skills include listening, reading, viewing, writing, speaking and creating print, visual and digital materials accurately and purposefully within and across all learning areas.

Literacy involves students engaging with the language and literacy demands of each learning area.

As they become literate students learn to:

● interpret, analyse, evaluate, respond to and construct increasingly complex texts (Comprehension and composition)

● understand, use, write and produce different types of text (Texts)

● manage and produce grammatical patterns and structures in texts (Grammar)

● make appropriate word selections and decode and comprehend new (basic,

Students become numerate as they develop the capacity to recognise and understand the role of mathematics in the world around them and the confidence, willingness and ability to apply mathematics to their lives in ways that are constructive and meaningful.

As they become numerate, students develop and use mathematical skills related to:

● Calculation and number● Patterns and relationships● Proportional reasoning● Spatial reasoning● Statistical literacy● Measurement.

Students develop ICT competence when they learn to:

● Investigate with ICT: using ICT to plan and refine information searches; to locate and access different types of data and information and to verify the integrity of data when investigating questions, topics or problems

● Create with ICT: using ICT to generate ideas, plans, processes and products to create solutions to challenges or learning area tasks

● Communicate with ICT: using ICT to communicate ideas and information with others adhering to social protocols appropriate to the communicative context (purpose, audience and technology)

● Operate ICT: applying technical knowledge and skills to use ICT efficiently and to manage data and information when and as needed

Students develop critical and creative thinking as they learn to generate and evaluate knowledge, ideas and possibilities, and use them when seeking new pathways or solutions. In learning to think broadly and deeply students learn to use reason and imagination to direct their thinking for different purposes. In the context of schooling, critical and creative thinking are integral to activities that require reason, logic, imagination and innovation.

As they develop critical and creative thinking students learn to:

● pose insightful and purposeful questions● apply logic and strategies to uncover

meaning and make reasoned judgments● think beyond the immediate situation to

consider the ‘big picture’ before focusing on the detail

● suspend judgment about a situation to consider alternative pathways

Students develop ethical behaviour as they learn to understand and act in accordance with ethical principles. This includes understanding the role of ethical principles, values and virtues in human life; acting with moral integrity; acting with regard for others; and having a desire and capacity to work for the common good.

As they develop ethical behaviour students learn to:

● recognise that everyday life involves consideration of competing values, rights, interests and social norms

● identify and investigate moral dimensions in issues● develop an increasingly complex understanding of ethical

concepts, the status of moral knowledge and accepted values and ethical principles

● explore questions such as:● What is the meaning of right and wrong and can I be sure

Students develop personal and social competence as they learn to understand and manage themselves, their relationships, lives, work and learning more effectively. This involves recognising and regulating their emotions, developing concern for and understanding of others, establishing positive relationships, making responsible decisions, working effectively in teams and handling challenging situations constructively.

As they develop personal and social competence students learn to:

● recognise and understand their own emotions, values and strengths, have a realistic assessment of their own abilities and a well-grounded sense of self-esteem and self-confidence (Self-awareness)

● manage their emotions and behaviour, persevere in overcoming obstacles, set personal and academic goals,

Students develop intercultural understanding as they learn to understand themselves in relation to others. This involves students valuing their own cultures and beliefs and those of others, and engaging with people of diverse cultures in ways that recognise commonalities and differences, create connections and cultivate respect between people.

As they develop intercultural understanding students learn to:

● identify increasingly sophisticated characteristics of their own cultures and the cultures of others

● recognise that their own and others’ behaviours, attitudes and values are influenced by their languages and cultures

● consider what it might be like to ‘walk in another’s shoes’● compare the experiences of others with their own, looking

for commonalities and differences between their lives and

In small groups, students will design and create a track that will demonstrate their understanding of force and Motion and the effects of Friction. Students will collaboratively and equitably allocate jobs in their groups eg. leader, scribe, group speaker, videographer etc. ensuring all ideas are heard and respected.

Students will be provided with and explore a selection of materials for their track.

Design on paper their marble run track with different surfaces. They will annotate their drawings labelling materials, length of track, direction, surface description. Students will discuss what elements of the designs will have to remain constant and what will change for fair testing eg. same size black board and marble for all teams, materials used for design, obstacles on track and angles of levels. Record their predictions on their design. Annotation should be recorded clearly so that others can understand their meaning. Attach to the design a small sample piece of each material used.
