| Exact code / raw E/J row | Exact description |
|---|---|
| AC9S5U03 / 18957 | identify sources of light, recognise that light travels in a straight path and describe how shadows are formed and light can be reflected and refracted |
| AC9S5I01 / 18990 | pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions |
| AC9S5I02 / 18997 | plan and conduct repeatable investigations to answer questions, including, as appropriate, deciding the variables to be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests; describing potential risks; planning for the safe use of equipment and materials; and identifying required permissions to conduct investigations on Country/Place |
| AC9S5I03 / 19005 | use equipment to observe, measure and record data with reasonable precision, using digital tools as appropriate |
| AC9S5I04 / 19011 | construct and use appropriate representations, including tables, graphs and visual or physical models, to organise and process data and information and describe patterns, trends and relationships |
| AC9S5I05 / 19018 | compare methods and findings with those of others, recognise possible sources of error, pose questions for further investigation and select evidence to draw reasoned conclusions |
| AC9S5I06 / 19025 | write and create texts to communicate ideas and findings for specific purposes and audiences, including selection of language features, using digital tools as appropriate |
U03 focus is sources/straight paths/shadows. Reflection/refraction are not established by this module's shadow work. I01 actual learner questions/predictions; I02 plans and actual conduct distinguished; I03 actual equipment observation/measurement/recording roles/precision; I04 available data/source/model representation; I05 comparison with others only when another appropriate method/finding is actually available; I06 actual learner communication for its chosen purpose/intended audience. A learner observing an adult trial can provide an actual observation, with the adult operation retained. Directing alone is not learner operation, and paper alone supplies no actual investigation. Missing observations, other-investigator comparisons and audience responses stay open. First own response differs from later teaching/support.
Actual level description D18938 (HTML normalised) develops models, light phenomena, patterns and reflection on methods. Full achievement standard is sheet 2 F239, actual subject A/B and Year 5 in E239; raw and canonical text checked. Relevant aspects concern light sources/model transfer, safe questions/predictions/variables, actual equipment data with precision, representations, others' findings/error/evidence and communication. The complete standard includes living survival, Earth change, particles and human endeavour that this leaf does not establish. No H01/H02 account or broad curriculum/year claim from the original model.

They distinguish experimental investigation from secondary-information investigation, allow varied modes/components, read instructions and local practical safety. Suggested lengths/times are not this pack's compulsory completion or word quotas. Both actual direct GETs returned 403; no fresh downloaded QCAA PDF bytes/layout claimed.
