01What this module asks of you

The 8 syllabus dot points in Earth and Space

These are the statements the Science Year 7 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.

02How it is examined

What a Earth and Space question asks you to do

Year 7 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 7 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 7 course

Earth and Space is module 4 of 4 in Science Year 7. 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 7 dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
