Scientific investigations of fire promote a range of skills including observation, questioning, predicting, testing and recording accurate results, analysing data and drawing conclusions. Students identify and describe various sources, forms, uses, transfers and changes in forms of energy. They explore how natural forces and human interaction cause changes to the Earth over time. Students identify the difference between natural and built environments and model built environments designed to suit the needs of users.
