The Australian Curriculum sets out the core knowledge, understanding, skills and general capabilities important for all Australian students. It identifies essential skills for twenty-first century learners with the inclusion of ICT capability. ICT capability supports and enhances student learning across all areas of the National Curriculum. Students develop and apply ICT knowledge, skills and appropriate social and ethical protocols and practices to investigate, create and communicate, as well as developing their ability to manage and operate ICT to meet their learning needs.

Key learning objectives
- students analyse problems by using a range of strategies, including interpreting clues, intuition, and trial and error.
- Students solve problems by using literacy and numeracy skills.
ScienceStudents develop ICT capability when they research science concepts and applications, investigate scientific phenomena, and communicate their scientific understandings. In particular, they employ their ICT capability to access information; collect, analyse and represent data; model and interpret concepts and relationships; and communicate science ideas, processes and information.
Digital technology can be used to represent scientific phenomena in ways that improve students’ understanding of concepts, ideas and information. Digital aids such as animations and simulations provide opportunities to view phenomena and test predictions that cannot be investigated through practical experiments in the classroom and may enhance students’ understanding and engagement with science. Students can use not only apps to explore science, but can also search the web using the iPad to access sites such as Science Experiments-Sick Science! to further explore the world of science.
