Checked 29 September 2026 against the official ACARA v9 downloadable workbook, pinned at products/curriculum-studio/research/sources/acara-australian-curriculum-v9-download-2026-09-29.xlsx, SHA-256 db446882d2c00cf7c085a03e250e2442fda6c44011fc114680c46c1dc7a822c3. The local import, exact rows and wording are checked by verifier. QCAA ACiQ v9 P–10 Science and planning resources are Queensland Prep entry points, not pack approval. These are proposed conditional, partial links, not a complete state map or standard judgment.
| Code | Workbook row | Learning area and level | Exact content description |
|---|---|---|---|
| AC9SFU01 | 18517 | Science · Foundation Year | observe external features of plants and animals and describe ways they can be grouped based on these features |
| AC9SFU02 | 18525 | Science · Foundation Year | describe how objects move and how factors including their size, shape or material influence their movement |
| AC9SFU03 | 18532 | Science · Foundation Year | recognise that objects can be composed of different materials and describe the observable properties of those materials |
| AC9SFH01 | 18542 | Science · Foundation Year | explore the ways people make and use observations and questions to learn about the natural world |
| 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 |
Conditional evidence map
- Content (AC9SFU01/02/03): Week 10's source-transfer task revisits actual living features/group rules, movement factors or materials only if an earlier or fresh genuine dated record for that domain exists. A model of leaf-like marks, route arrow or material mark gives drawing-reading practice, not content evidence. Day 45's actual verified composite view can sample AC9SFU03; Day 50's actual approved movement may sample AC9SFU02. Neither alone establishes the full description, and the pack does not fabricate a real animal/material/movement source to fill a gap.
- Human endeavour and questions (AC9SFH01, AC9SFI01): Children ask what a source could show, distinguish prediction from result and propose a next safe question. An invented notebook can support question language, but its story result is not a local observation.
- Safe investigation and representation (AC9SFI02/03): Credit real safe investigation only from a locally approved action/sense route with actual source/date/method/result. A private prior log may be represented with provenance in a blank template; a fictional source remains labelled MODEL. Pattern identification needs multiple comparable real records with guidance; two unrelated sample pages or a maths card-count display do not meet it automatically.
- Prediction comparison and sharing (AC9SFI04/05): Compare only a genuinely prior prediction and subsequent actual observed result. NOT RECORDED, NOT TESTED and INCOMPARABLE are legitimate conclusions. A child may share privately with a teacher or consenting listener; invented dialogue is never reported as actual feedback.
- Assessment: Days 45/50 are new formative samples, with actual and paper routes separated. A single sample cannot certify Term 1, Foundation achievement or future progress. Record supports/access and what remains unobserved, then make a next teaching move.
