Recommended Prior Learning

Y9 Science


The Junior Science programme is a two year course. In Year 10 Science, students continue to develop the skills, attitudes, and values to build a foundation for understanding the world. These outcomes are learnt through contextual units in which scientific knowledge and understanding is developed.

Each unit of work in Year 10 brings together relevant theory from the chemistry, biology, physics, and earth science, with content based on 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.
