Study Notes

Australian Curriculum and Victorian Curriculum Alignment

  • The Victorian Curriculum: Science is integrated into this new edition.
  • Additional content provides flexibility for tailoring the approach to different needs.
  • Extension and revision opportunities are included as options.

Student Book Enhancements

  • The content has been reviewed by a literacy consultant.
  • Increased accessibility through improved clarity and scaffolding.
  • Strengthened question and instruction sets.
  • Updated design for improved readability and navigation.
  • Retains a flexible approach to teaching and learning.
  • Combines inquiry-based learning, STEM, and practical investigations.

Light and Colour

  • Wavelengths of visible light are less than one-thousandth of a millimetre.
  • This is about one-hundredth the width of a human hair.
  • A red apple reflects red light, absorbing the other colours in the visible spectrum.
  • Colour filters absorb different colours, affecting what we see.
  • Primary colours combined in pairs produce secondary colours (magenta, cyan, and yellow).
  • Combinations of cyan, magenta, and yellow can produce every colour.

Colour Vision and Colour Blindness

  • Three types of cone cells (red, green, and blue) detect color.
  • Normal vision requires all three cone types.
  • 4% of people are born with some form of color-blindness.

STEM Activities and Applications

  • Example activity: Helping a colour-blind person choose between a red, yellow, or green apple.
  • Technologies: Televisions, video cameras, mobile phones use RGB (red, green, blue) color models.
  • Binary digits/Nibbles: A series of four binary digits (half a byte).
  • 8-digit decimal numbers: These can have values between 0 and 99,999,999.
