Knowledge and
conceptual
understanding
The student work has the following characteristics:
• reproduction and interpretation of complex and challenging electric circuit
concepts
• comparison and explanation of complex electric circuit concepts, processes and
phenomena
• linking and application of algorithms, concepts and theories to find solutions in
complex and challenging electric circuit situations
Investigative
processes
The student work has the following characteristics:
• formulation of justified significant hypotheses which inform effective and efficient
design, refinement and management of investigations
• safe selection and adaptation of equipment, and appropriate application of
technology to gather, record and process valid data
• systematic analysis of primary and secondary data to identify relationships
between patterns, trends, errors and anomalies
Evaluating and
concluding
The student work has the following characteristics:
• analysis and evaluation of complex scientific interrelationships
• exploration of scenarios and possible outcomes with justification of conclusions
• discriminating selection, use and presentation of scientific data and ideas to
make meaning accessible to intended audiences through innovative use of
range of language, diagrams, tables and graphs
