Mangere College
Y9 Science
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr D. Wong.
Junior Science is a two year programme that integrates Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Earth and Space Science. Each unit of work focuses on and assesses one of the three essential Science skills: thinking, investigating, and communicating - skills essential for participating in society as an informed citizen.
Each unit of work in Year 9 brings together relevant theory with content based around an essential question about the world that we live in.
By studying science, students:
• develop an understanding of the world, built on current scientific theories;
• learn that science involves particular processes and ways of developing and organising knowledge and that these continue to evolve;
• use their current scientific knowledge and skills for problem solving and developing further knowledge;
• use scientific knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about the communication, application, and implications of science as these relate to their own lives and cultures and to the sustainability of the environment.
