Course Outline

This General course enables students to:

  • use the scientific method to complete investigations

  • understand that science uses knowledge to solve problems and make informed decisions that impact people and the environment and
  • understand relationships within and between living and physical systems

This is done by taking a multidisciplinary approach, including aspects of biology, chemistry, geology and physics, that encourages students to apply what they have learnt in class to real-world situations.
