Aligned level 1 achievement standards were registered for use in 2011 and level 2 for use in 2012; level 3 will be registered for use in 2013.

Learning described by this objective could be assessed using one or more of these achievement standards:

  • Science AS90944 1.5, AS90945 1.6, AS90946 1.7, AS90947 1.8
  • Chemistry AS90930 1.1, AS90931 1.2, AS90932 1.3, AS90933 1.4, AS90934 1.5
