NCEA Level 1 Science
11SCI Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs R. Blair.
The 11 Science course will combine Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Science standards, building on the knowledge you have gained in the last two years.
Four standards total 21 credits. The three internal standards involve experiments and a practical-based assessment, and the fourth Genetics standard will be examined at the end of the year.
The topics are Mechanics, Genetics, Chemical reactions, and Scientific investigations.
You will:
- Understand how to do a range of scientific investigations
- Study different chemical reactions
- Perform a practical investigation that demonstrates an understanding of physics ideas
- Explore how genes control the inheritance of characteristics
- Be able to explain the causes of genetic variation.
