Science Level 1
SCI1 Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs M. Scoggins.
Recommended Prior LearningEntry through recommendation of Year 10 Science Teacher.
Science Level 1
This course involves study from the specialist areas of Chemistry, Biology, and Physics to provide students with a Science background to understand everyday Science, prepare for the workforce or to choose further study pathways (secondary and tertiary) in all specialist areas.
Science study includes demonstrating understanding of a physical phenomenon through investigation, chemical reactions and genetic variation in relation to an identified characteristic.
Science courses will be assessed to a selection of Achievement Standards, composed of 2 internal standards (11 credits) and 1 external standard (5 credits).
