Checked 29 September 2026 against the official ACARA v9 downloadable workbook, pinned as products/curriculum-studio/research/sources/acara-australian-curriculum-v9-download-2026-09-29.xlsx, SHA-256 db446882d2c00cf7c085a03e250e2442fda6c44011fc114680c46c1dc7a822c3. The pinned import and these exact row numbers/text are checked by verifier. The QCAA ACiQ v9 P–10 Science and planning resources are Queensland Prep entry points, not approval of this pack. These are proposed partial links, not whole-standard or full state mapping.

| AC9SFI01 | 18550 | Science · Foundation Year | pose questions and make predictions based on experiences |
| AC9SFI02 | 18556 | Science · Foundation Year | engage in investigations safely and make observations using their senses |
| AC9SFI03 | 18562 | Science · Foundation Year | represent observations in provided templates and identify patterns with guidance |
| AC9SFI04 | 18569 | Science · Foundation Year | compare observations with predictions with guidance |
| AC9SFI05 | 18574 | Science · Foundation Year | share questions, predictions, observations and ideas with others |
| AC9SFU03 | 18532 | Science · Foundation Year | recognise that objects can be composed of different materials and describe the observable properties of those materials |
Why these links are conditional
- AC9SFU03: A real approved practice surface and actual one-pass dry-wipe result can sample an observable property of that exact surface/mark combination. It does not establish a universal property of every object of its verified material. Where a broad practice sample has a verified backing/coating or other visible material part, those parts can be named from the source; a flat unverified sheet alone does not demonstrate composition of different materials. Paper Model T/U/V/W and held C/Z cards cannot establish local property evidence.
- AC9SFH01 / AC9SFI01: Children challenge a printed material claim by asking a specific safe question and predicting before adult action. Week 7's integrated real-sign meaning and personal-data lessons remain HPE/Digital Technologies, not Science evidence merely because a sign is present.
- AC9SFI02 / AC9SFI03: Safe local adult preflight, actual source/date/action/access and honest results underpin any investigation claim. The provided templates can represent real observations or labelled fictional source reading. A repeated decorative AB sequence in Week 8's integrated Arts/Maths guide is distinct from a pattern across comparable actual observations. Three real comparable records are the local threshold used here; missing/changed-condition rows lead to INSUFFICIENT COMPARABLE OBSERVATIONS. This is a teaching rule for this pack, not an ACARA-prescribed number.
- AC9SFI04 / AC9SFI05: Compare predictions only with actual subsequent observations. A real consenting listener or private teacher can receive a source-bounded explanation; imagined listener feedback does not count. Attributed ADULT REPORT supports reasoning but is not relabelled the child's direct sensory observation.
- Fresh checks: Days 35/40 guide follow-up only. A paper fallback samples representation and limits, not actual material-property or safe-investigation evidence. One real trial or three local repeats cannot certify full-year Science achievement.
