• Apply knowledge of fair testing to discuss the methods used by Australian scientists such as Barry Marshall and Robin Warren who changed thinking and our understanding of the cause, and hence the treatment of stomach ulcers. Use ideas generated from sustainability issues that are discussed in the media to jointly construct fair test investigations, for example, use of materials to better insulate homes.

• Model the use of scientific language in the classroom when investigating scientifically and discussing scientific issues. Plan and conduct a lesson in which scientific language is explicitly taught.
