Level 1 Science - Applied 2025

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Bev Pantry.

Science is compulsory at Year 11.  

You must select either Level 1 Science or Level 1 Science Applied

This course is designed for students who have an interest in General Science but do not wish to continue with a specialty Science, such as Biology, Chemistry or Physics. This subject is more of an applied course.  The course looks at the four main strands of Science: understanding about Science; investigating; communication; participating and contributing in Science.  Students develop an understanding of SocioScientific issues by gathering relevant scientific information during investigations in order to draw evidence-based conclusions.  This course may lead to Level 2 Biology.
