A2. use coding in investigations and to model concepts, and assess the impact of coding and of emerging technologies on everyday life and in STEM-related fields
A3. demonstrate an understanding of the practical applications of science and technology, and of contributions to science and technology from people with diverse lived experiences
Life Systems: Interactions in the Environment
B1. assess the impact of human activities and technologies on the environment, and analyse ways to mitigate negative impacts and contribute to environmental sustainability
B2. demonstrate an understanding of interactions between and among biotic and abiotic components in the environment
Matter and Energy: Pure Substances and Mixtures
C1. evaluate the environmental and social impacts of the use and disposal of various pure substances and mixtures
C2. demonstrate an understanding of the nature of matter, including the properties of pure substances and mixtures, and describe these properties using particle theory
Structures and Mechanisms: Form, Function, and Design of Structures
D1. analyse personal, social, economic, and environmental factors that should be considered when designing and building structures
D2. demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between structural forms and the forces acting on them
Earth and Space Systems: Heat in the Environment
E1. assess the benefits of technologies that reduce heat loss, and analyse various social and environmental impacts of the use of energy from renewable and non-renewable sources
E2. demonstrate an understanding of heat as a form of energy that is associated with the movement of particles and is essential for many natural processes within Earth’s systems
