SCN 401A Chem

 

 Sustainability
I can carry out a variety of chemical reactions which model how different environmental conditions impact on Earth materials.    
SCN 402A Chem

 

 Sustainability
I can research and investigate the extraction of metals from their ores. I can debate the ethical issues surrounding their production and contribute to a discussion on the sustainable use and conservation of finite resources.    
SCN 403A Bio/Chem

 

 Sustainability

Using my knowledge and understanding, I can express an informed view on a national or global environmental issue.

    
SCN 404A Bio/Chem

 

 Sustainability
I can research and investigate the extraction of metals from their ores. I can debate the ethical issues surrounding their production and contribute to a discussion on the sustainable use and conservation of finite resources.

SCN 405B

G21 - Our environment

 Biodiversity
I can sample and identify living things from different habitats to compare their biodiversity and can suggest reasons for their distribution.    
SCN 406B Bio

G21 - Our environment

 Biodiversity
I can investigate different habitats and give a reasoned opinion on how living things are adapted for survival and predict possible consequences of habitat change.    
SCN 407B Bio

 

 Biodiversity
I can present a case for how the application of scientific knowledge can be used to feed the Earth’s population and debate the associated moral and ethical issues.
People, place & environment
 SOC 417G - I have discussed the issues around the role of agriculture in the production of food and raw material and can present conclusions about the environmental impacts and sustainability.		  
SCN 408B Bio

 

 Biodiversity

I have propagated and grown plants using a variety of different methods. I can compare these methods and develop my understanding of their use commercially.

SCN 410E Phys

 

 Astronomy
From my research into a current space development, I can use information and data to show how new technology is used to make observations and measurements that increase our knowledge of the Earth and our Universe.    
SCN 411E Phys   Astronomy
I can apply my knowledge of electromagnetic waves and their detection to explain how images and information from space help us understand the structure of the Universe and how it has changed over time.
