Bayfield High School
Level 1 Science
Course Description
Studying science improves our ability to understand today's big issues, make informed decisions and assess the credibility, reliability, and validity of what we see and hear. It also provides a foundation for understanding the world and helps us develop scientific skills, attitudes and values that enable us to make links 'between scientific knowledge and everyday decisions and actions'
This Level 1 course will be structured to allow students to achieve their goals, while studying at a level suited to their ability. Students in this course will be assessed using a combination of internally assessed Achievement Standards and externally assessed Achievement Standards.
Students and teachers will consult on how many external standards, if any, a student might sit at the end of the year. All students have the opportunity to gain at least 15 credits with a possible 20 credits depending on progress with this new course.
During the year students will investigate and develop an understanding of Biology, Physics and Chemistry by studying a range of topics which could include:
Demonstrate understanding of genetic variation in relation to an identified characteristic and Demonstrate understanding of energy in a physical system, which are both assessed externally.
Demonstrate understanding of a chemical reaction in a specific context and Demonstrate understanding of a physics phenomenon through investigation which will be assessed internally.
Course Standards
AS 90921 Demonstrate undestanding of a chemical reaction in a specific context Internal 6 Credits
AS 90922 Demonstrate understanding of gentic variation in relation to an identified characteristic External 5 Credits
AS 92045 Demonstrate understanding of a physical phenomenon through investigation Internal 5 Credits
AS 92047 Demonstrate understanding of energy in a physical system External 5 Credits
(We may only enter for one of the external standards to provide a total of at least 16 Credits)
