Fundamental+concepts+-+science

The Science knowledge and understanding dimension focuses on building student understanding of the overarching conceptual ideas of science. These include understanding: • the nature of the similarities between, and the diversity of, living things and their sustainable relationships with each other and their environment • concepts related to matter – its properties and uses, and the production of different substances through chemical change • concepts of energy and force as a way of explaining physical phenomena • the place of the Earth in time and space and the interactions between the Earth and its atmosphere • how scale is important in relating structure to function at microscopic and macroscopic levels.

Further information about SI units can be found at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures website at [|www.bipm.org].
 * Units of measurement:** A unit is a particular physical quantity, defined and adopted by convention, with which other particular quantities of the same kind are compared to express their value. The International System of Units (SI) is founded on seven base quantities, assumed to be mutually independent, as shown in the table below:
 * **Base quantity** |||| **SI base unit** ||
 * ^  || **Name** || **Symbol** ||
 * amount of substance || mole || mol ||
 * electric current || ampere || A ||
 * length || metre || m ||
 * luminous intensity || candela || cd ||
 * mass || kilogram || kg ||
 * thermodynamic temperature || kelvin || K ||
 * time || second || s ||
