Year 10
Senior-level investigation skills: hypotheses that test relationships, valid and reproducible designs, error and bias, precision and significant figures, descriptive statistics, linearising data, evaluating claims, writing reports, peer review, and science in society.
Year 10
Speed, velocity and acceleration with worked calculations, distance–time and velocity–time graphs, Newton's three laws, F = ma and weight, friction and terminal velocity, and how physics explains seatbelts, airbags, crumple zones and school-zone speed limits.
Year 10
Synthesis, decomposition and displacement reactions (including the activity series, precipitation and neutralisation), predicting products, exothermic and endothermic reactions, collision theory, and how temperature, concentration, surface area and catalysts change reaction rates.
Year 10
How the periodic table is organised and why: Mendeleev's predictions, the Bohr model and electron shells, groups and periods, metals and non-metals, trends in atomic size and reactivity, ions, and flame tests and emission spectra. With exam practice.
Year 10
How energy flows between Earth's spheres, the greenhouse effect, ocean currents and feedbacks, and what Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO and WMO data show about climate change. Climate models, generating electricity (AC and DC), mitigation strategies and exam practice.
Year 10
The scale and structure of the universe, the big bang timeline, and the evidence for it: redshift and the Hubble–Lemaître law, the cosmic microwave background and the abundance of light elements. Life cycles of stars, telescopes, ASKAP, space exploration and exam practice.
Year 10
How natural selection works (variation, selection pressure, inheritance, isolation), how new species form, and the evidence for evolution: fossils, comparative anatomy and embryology, biogeography and DNA. Australian examples and exam practice.
Year 10
How DNA, genes and chromosomes carry inherited information, why mitosis and meiosis differ, and how to predict offspring with Punnett squares, sex-linked crosses and pedigrees. Includes mutations, genetic conditions and exam practice.
Year 10
Start here for Year 10 Maths exams: a topic map linking every guide section, a formula sheet, a two-week plan, every key term as flashcards, and a 75-mark mock exam with an extension section and full worked answers.
Year 10
The language of conditional probability, two-way tables and Venn diagrams, two- and three-step experiments with and without replacement, independence, simulations with digital tools, and extension work on counting principles and factorials.
Year 10
Quartiles, IQR, outliers and boxplots, comparing distributions, extension work on standard deviation, scatterplots and lines of good fit, two-way tables, statistical investigations with time series, and analysing claims and bias in the media.
Year 10
Writing deductive proofs with congruent and similar triangles, proving properties of quadrilaterals, extension circle theorems, networks and shortest paths, and designing and testing algorithms for spatial problems.
