Science
Science and Technology is the key learning area in which students learn about the natural and made environments by investigating, by designing and making and by using technology. Learning in Science and technology draws on and contributes to the other five key learning areas. Science provides students with the learning experiences to:
- Develop the processes and skills required to find out about the world in a systematic way.
- Better understanding themselves and the environment.
- Access information.
- Investigate scientifically.
- Design and construct.
- Problem solve and clarify.
- Accept findings if they can not be verified.
- Develop rational thought and responsible behaviour.
