Year 10 Science students will complete the Stage 5 Science course that contributes to their RoSA (Record of School Achievement). The topics covered will increase knowledge and understanding of Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Geology and Physics and prepare students for Stage 6 Science courses. Within the topics covered in the Year 10 Science program the Working Scientifically skills will be reviewed and enhanced. Assessment tasks include the submission of a scientific report of a primary investigation that was planned in Year 9 and a practical test.
3 March 2020 – Year 10 students have been issued with the notification for Assessment Task 1 – Depth Study. This preparation for this task will be done in class over a number of lessons and students will then complete questions relevant to their previous work. It is a working scientifically – secondary source investigation – task. The notification can be found here.
