Describe features of science that have contributed to the development of a science idea in a local context
This standard asks you to pick a science idea from New Zealand or the Pacific and describe how different features of science helped it develop. You need to identify what science does (like collecting data, using technology, responding to problems) and explain how those things contributed to creating or improving the science idea you chose.
You identify a feature of science, give an example from your chosen science idea, and outline how it contributed to developing that idea.
You explain why each feature of science mattered to developing the idea, clearly linking examples from the resource material to show how the features made a real difference.
You discuss how two or more features of science worked together and interacted to develop the science idea, showing how they connected to each other, not just listed separately.
