Planning, programming and assessing science 7-10
In Stages 4 and 5, the study of science is mandatory.
The science Years 7-10 Syllabus (2018) emphasises inquiry-based learning. Students explore the physical world, earth and space, living world, and chemical world embedding the working scientifically skills of:
- questioning and predicting
- planning investigations
- conducting investigations
- processing and analysing data and information
- communicating.
Programming includes detailed information and resources for teaching the skills of working scientifically including the student research project.
The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Science Years 7-10 Syllabus (2018) page contains useful information for the teaching of Stages 4 and 5 science.
