About this Learning Area
Learning Area Leader: Stephen Irvine
Science provides opportunities for students to develop an understanding of important science concepts and processes, the practices used to develop scientific knowledge, science’s contribution to our culture and society, and its applications in our lives.
It provides an understanding of scientific inquiry methods, a foundation of knowledge across the disciplines of science, develops an ability to communicate scientific understanding, use evidence to solve problems and make evidence-based decisions.
In the Year 10 curriculum students explore systems at different scales and connect microscopic and macroscopic properties to explain phenomena.
The curriculum supports students to develop their scientific knowledge, understandings and skills to make informed decisions about local, national and global issues and to participate, if they so wish, in science-related careers.
