Year 9 Advanced Science
Students in Year 9 Advanced Science will engage in an academic program designed to teach problem-solving strategies, collaboration, critical and creative thinking, and effective communication. Students go beyond the Science curriculum to focus on the application of content to real-world problems, exploring how science can lead us into the future. They investigate how science can be used to solve problems and also how it can potentially be the cause of new challenges. This interdisciplinary approach fosters ethical leadership skills and prepares students for future challenges in a rapidly changing world.
