YEAR NINE SCIENCE
TERM THREE: SCIENCE IN THE MEDIA
In term three, we look at everyday Science, that is Science in print and digital media such as movies, news sites, papers and magazines, TV etc. Our aim is for students to learn to analyse the information they see and decide how useful and valid it is. Other focuses for the term include literacy (written communication) and using technology. |
TERM FOUR: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
In term four, we look at Science and technology, that is how Science is needed for technological innovations and advances. Part of this process is problem-solving and working in a team - this is put to the test in Technology Challenges, culminating in an inter class competition. Students also learn to revise and sit a practical examination. |
