Course Overview

This course is designed for those students who have a weaker background in Mathematics. There is an emphasis on the practical application of Mathematical skills. The three Numeracy Unit Standards are included in this course and students are also given the opportunity to undertake some Level One Achievement Standards.

Students will investigate the living, material and physical world. They will perform experiments, collect and interpret data and draw logical conclusions across a wide range of science scenarios. With good results this course could lead into Year 12 Biology, Chemistry or Physics.
