Chemistry — particle model, atoms, elements, mixtures

Particle model (solids, liquids, gases); pure substances vs. mixtures; atoms / elements / compounds; physical separation techniques.

Australia ACARA≡ EQUIVALENT
Chemical — substances, mixtures, separation (AC9S7U03)
UK and AU align tightly at Y7 on particle model + mixtures.
US NGSS (Sciences)≈ OVERLAPS
MS-PS1 — Matter and Its Interactions
NGSS reaches into chemical reactions and conservation of mass; UK Y7 stops at particles + mixtures.
CLUSTER 04 · 6

Physics — forces, motion, energy

Contact and non-contact forces; gravity; motion; energy stores and transfers.

US NGSS (Sciences)≡ EQUIVALENT
MS-PS2 — Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
MS-PS3 — Energy
UK Y7 includes energy stores/transfers; full energy treatment also in Y8.

Earth structure, weather, space

Earth structure (rocks, layers); weather; space (solar system, day/night). Often distributed across science + geography KS3.

Australia ACARA≈ OVERLAPS
Earth & Space — water cycle and resources (AC9S7U05)
UK includes space; AU Y7 keeps space for later.
US NGSS (Sciences)≈ OVERLAPS
MS-ESS1 + MS-ESS2 + MS-ESS3 — Earth and space sciences
NGSS MS-ESS is broader (universe + Earth systems + human impact); UK splits topics across science + geography.
