- Practical scientific procedures and techniques: You will study practical techniques ranging from titrations, colorimetry, calorimetry and chromatography.
- Science investigation skills: You will develop your scientific skills including recording and interpreting data and analysing and evaluating scientific findings.
- Principles and Applications of Science: Develop your theory and practical skills in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
What are lessons like in this subject?
Applied Science lessons include a mixture of both theory and practical methods.
The theory lessons present new knowledge in small chunks with a focus on how to apply your knowledge and incorporate retrieval practice using online tools such as Kahoot and Seneca.
For the practical aspects of the course, you will use equipment such as burettes, volumetric flasks and pipettes to make and test your own solutions, colorimeters and different types of chromatography to test the purity of solutions and components such as diodes, thermistors and LDRs to make and test electrical circuits.
You will also venture outside to collect biological data to apply statistical tests learnt in the classroom to real-life situations.
What will I study?
You will study topics ranging from cells, atomic structure and bonding to waves and communications.
