Science
The intent of science education is to cultivate students who are curious, analytically minded, and scientifically literate, equipping them with the skills to navigate an ever-evolving discipline. By emphasising the importance of cultural capital in industrial and medical applications, students will learn to critically engage with contemporary scientific challenges, question existing ideas, and systematically plan their enquiries. This approach fosters a learning environment where students can read and interpret scientific literature effectively, develop well-informed opinions, and contribute meaningfully to ongoing discussions in science, ultimately preparing them to tackle the challenges of the future. Our repeat concepts are:
Biology: Structure and function of living organisms, Material cycles and energy, Interaction and interdependence, Genetics and evolution
Chemistry: Particles and matter, Chemical reactions, Energy in chemistry, Earth chemistry
Physics: Energy, Forces and motion, Sound, light and waves, Electricity and magnetism
Science Skills: Questioning, Investigation, Analysis and Linking
