| 7. Students understand and appreciate the physical, biological and technological world and have the knowledge and skills and values to make decisions in relation to it. |
| workings of the physical, biological and technological world and recognise that cultural preconceptions influence their understanding. They are able and willing to participate in community debate and decision making and can make informed decisions about sustainable development and its impact on people and the environment. They show concern for the environment, understand the consequences of choices in using natural resources and the environment, and have the knowledge and skills to look after both. Students understand that the connection of Aboriginal people to the environment is profoundly significant to their identity and well-being. They devise solutions to problems arising from their own needs and have methods for testing the validity of their observations and assumptions in relation to the natural and built worlds: for example, students may pose questions about the habitat of an animal; experiment with mixing colours to find out what happens with various combinations; investigate the causes of water salinity; recognise the consequence of reducing wetlands in the urban environment; investigate housing designs which minimise energy use; or use landscapes for inspiration in the arts.
