01What this module asks of you

The 8 syllabus dot points in Earth and Space

These are the statements the Science Year 10 syllabus makes about Earth and Space. Dux records each one against the questions you answer, so you can see which of them you have actually been tested on and which have never been asked.

  1. 01

    The greenhouse effect

    The greenhouse effect - Earth and Space, Year 10.

  2. 02

    Evidence for climate change

    Evidence for climate change - Earth and Space, Year 10.

  3. 03

    Carbon sources and sinks

    Carbon sources and sinks - Earth and Space, Year 10.

  4. 04

    Climate models and uncertainty

    Climate models and uncertainty - Earth and Space, Year 10.

  5. 05

    Mitigation and adaptation

    Mitigation and adaptation - Earth and Space, Year 10.

  6. 06

    The Big Bang and evidence for it

    The Big Bang and evidence for it - Earth and Space, Year 10.

  7. 07

    Stars, galaxies and distance measurement

    Stars, galaxies and distance measurement - Earth and Space, Year 10.

  8. 08

    Space exploration and its spin-offs

    Space exploration and its spin-offs - Earth and Space, Year 10.

02How it is examined

What a Earth and Space question asks you to do

Year 10 Assessment Task Shape is 50 marks in 75 minutes. Questions on Earth and Space are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Science Year 10 uses.

Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.

03Where this module sits

Earth and Space in the Science Year 10 course

Earth and Space is module 4 of 4 in Science Year 10. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.

Find the Earth and Space dot points you have never been asked

Dux diagnoses Science Year 10 dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
