# Exact Foundation Science / Queensland Prep crosswalk

**Checked 30 September 2026.** [Official ACARA v9 workbook](https://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/content/dam/en/curriculum/ac-version-9/downloads/curriculum-workbook.xlsx): fresh independent HTTP200, 2,049,917 bytes, SHA `db446882d2c00cf7c085a03e250e2442fda6c44011fc114680c46c1dc7a822c3`. Actual Learning areas XML E/J cells and live canonical import agree for all nine Foundation Science descriptions. Seven selected below, exact wording unmodified, not inferred from a theme.

| Code / workbook row | Exact content description | Opportunity | Evidence boundary |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| AC9SFU03 / 18532 | recognise that objects can be composed of different materials and describe the observable properties of those materials | 171/173/177 actual known material/encountered response; optional verified parts/source | Partial material/property sampling. Fold is form, not new material. Composition breadth remains open unless actual object/source verifies multiple materials; a label/model alone not real inspection. |
| AC9SFH01 / 18542 | explore the ways people make and use observations and questions to learn about the natural world | 171/174/176 actual child/teacher using a question and observation | Conditional actual person/example. Fictional notebook not scientific human/community testimony; no claimed profession or authority. |
| AC9SFI01 / 18550 | pose questions and make predictions based on experiences | 171/172/174/176 chosen question and prior idea; held open source questions | Own actual experiences/questions/predictions if encountered. After-result ideas not prior. Model prediction/reasoning source-labelled. |
| AC9SFI02 / 18556 | engage in investigations safely and make observations using their senses | Optional real safe direct sensory investigations | Locally approved welcomed single action; sense/access/action real. Adult action can be directly observed; attributed report/model is not child direct sensory event. No required touch/sense. |
| AC9SFI03 / 18562 | represent observations in provided templates and identify patterns with guidance | 173/177/178 shared provided template and bounded comparable rows | One useful group row can represent observation. Pattern only if available comparable observations support it; no fixed repeat count or AB decoration. Held fictional notes not physical data. |
| AC9SFI04 / 18569 | compare observations with predictions with guidance | 172/176 own prior idea beside available actual response; held AL reasoning | Both prediction and observation needed for own comparison. Missing prediction not wrong. Source comparisons not real material trial. |
| AC9SFI05 / 18574 | share questions, predictions, observations and ideas with others | Child shares selected question/observation/idea with educator/willing listener | Actual sharing if it happens in chosen mode; private rehearsal separate. No required public voice, performer, peer, photo or upload. |

AC9SFU01 / 18517 living-feature grouping and AC9SFU02 / 18525 full movement-factor description checked but **not claimed** from this pad/property pack. SFU03 full breadth not established by one folded cloth or soft-pad label. No promised rebound/elasticity/comfort or universal material rule.

## Current Queensland primary sources

[Science entry](https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/p-10/aciq/version-9/learning-areas/p-10-science), [Prep alignment](https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/downloads/aciqv9/science/curriculum/ac9_science_prep_as_cd_alignment.pdf), [Prep techniques/conditions](https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/downloads/aciqv9/science/assessment/ac9_science_tc_prep.pdf) and [assessment resources](https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/p-10/aciq/version-9/learning-areas/p-10-science/p-10-science-assessment-resources) are primary current references. Fresh complete indexed **one-page alignment 230388, ©2023** and **three-page techniques 230153-02, October 2023** inspected. They map these content descriptions to Prep and distinguish supported practical investigation, information inquiry and stimulus response. Child/teacher/shared questions, multiple response modes and teacher observation can contribute. Short later components allowed; longer responses are not necessarily better. Scribing/prompts noted without changing target; practical work follows current local safety guidance.

Direct entry/alignment/techniques requests returned **HTTP403** on 30 September. **Current PDF bytes/layout unverified**. Indexed complete text does not establish a successful downloaded/current-layout inspection. [Fetch receipts](source-fetch-receipts.json), [source pins](source-snapshot.json). School checks current full documents/adopted programme before reporting. These are original teacher drafts, not QCAA instruments or an endorsed/full-standard judgement.

## Integrated context and progression

[Integrated W35](../../../term-4/week-35-a-fair-try.md) listening/proposals/equal groups do not prove real fairness, consent or Science material response. Here a child’s actual useful question and optional pad observation is a new source. [W36](../../../term-4/week-36-teach-the-pattern.md) decorative repeating units and helper directions have separate English/maths evidence. A source-bound pattern of material response is not an AB border. Any real listener or helper remains willing and actually encountered.

This new press/release property inquiry follows [Science W33–34](../weeks-33-34/README.md), without testing a load on unsupported paper or extending its roof/strength claim. No Year 1 fair-test vocabulary/standard, measured force, fixed wait, arbitrary repeat count or proof burden imposed. Actual sense/report/model, known/UNKNOWN material, prior/later idea, meaningful action/form/time difference and real/untried status remain explicit.
