Year 10 Science

Science at Year 10 is a one semester course that aims to extend the science skills and capabilities introduced in Year 9 and lead them into Year 11. Units of work are based on the Nature of Science in the New Zealand Curriculum.

Science education covers context based topics centered around the big ideas in science, which are offered throughout the year in suitably equipped laboratories.

Students continue to develop the science capabilities of: Gathering and interpreting information, Using evidence to support ideas, Critiquing evidence, Making meaning of scientific representations and Engaging with science. By developing these capabilities, students will become equipped to:

- Understand about Science and how scientists work

- Communicate in Science

- Investigate in Science

- Participate and contribute in Science
