Science
Science is divided into the four learning areas of:
-
Biological Sciences: the study of living organisms involving structure and function, interdependence and diversity and evolution. In Biological Sciences students can learn that living organisms depend on each other and the environment to survive.
-
Chemical Sciences: the study of various forms of matter, their composition, structure and properties. In Chemical Sciences students can learn that changes to materials can be reversible, such as melting, freezing, evaporating; or irreversible such as burning and rusting.
-
Earth and Space Sciences: involves exploring changes to the Earth and systems in Space. In Earth and Space Sciences students can learn that Earth’s rotation on its axis causes regular changes, including day and night and that some of Earth’s resources are renewable, but others are non-renewable.
-
Physical Sciences: involves the study of the physical world, students can learn about transformation and conservation of energy and explore a variety of forces and motion.
