Science Skills Foundations

This subject equips students with the skills and practical knowledge required to engage in scientific processes, investigations and problem solving. Students engage in experiential learning, conducting experiments, and applying theoretical knowledge to tangible scenarios. From laboratories to fieldwork, the curriculum is designed to foster critical thinking and creativity in solving practical problems. Students will engage with and apply their understanding of chemistry, physics, or biology, in discipline-specific and interdisciplinary tasks that develop their understanding of standard scientific protocols, sustainable practice, safety, and ethics. Students will also be developing their critical thinking and key scientific skills such as observation, data collection, analysis, and interpretation. This subject connects theory and practice, preparing students for future study or employment in science.
