Science (10)
In Semester One, students complete three topics related to the central concept of change. In biology, they study genetics with respect to the scientific principles involved and medical and commercial applications. In chemistry, they investigate why chemical reactions proceed at different speeds and how the ideas of chemical kinetics find commercial applications. In physics, they study waves, light, sound and the basics of nuclear physics. These topics improve skills in communication, investigation as well as developing skills of application, synthesis and evaluation. The course grade is determined by the student’s performance in writing about science in society, planning and carrying out investigations and tests and examinations.
