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.
