Science (9)
Students explore the themes of Patterns and Structure, and Energy.  In Semester One, they study the structure of plant and animal cells as well as the transportation of materials, to classify and separate mixtures and explore the types of atoms and bonding involved. Also, students learn the workings of the SI system of measurement and develop a practical sense of how to treat and manipulate data while studying the movements of objects.  In Semester Two, students assess the impact that humans have had on the environment resulting from the continual expense of energy. They also explore how substances absorb or release different quantities of heat and calculate these amounts quantitatively.  Lastly, students learn how different forms of energy can be converted to one another but are ultimately conserved.
