Integrated Science

This unit looks at the processes involved in the functioning of systems from the macro level to systems at the organism, cellular and molecular level. Students recognise the interdependence of these systems and investigate the effect of human activity on systems. 

This unit looks at the processes involved in the transformations and redistributions of matter and energy in biology, chemical and physical systems, from the atomic level to the macro level. Students investigate the properties of elements, compounds and mixtures and how these substances interact in chemical reactions to produce new substances. The concepts of forces, energy and motion are also explored. 

This unit looks at ideas relating to the processes involved in the movement of energy and matter in ecosystems. Students will investigate a number of diverse ecosystems, exploring the range of living and non-living components, to understand the dynamics, diversity and interrelationships of these systems. 

This unit provides students with the opportunity to conduct scientific investigations that will increase their understanding of important scientific concepts and processes. Students will investigate how chemical reactions occur, differences between mixtures and solutions, the effect of forces on motion and energy transformations.
