In Science, students use the investigation and inquiry processes to discover the physical world through observation and experimentation. Science has eight contexts:

• Biology
• Chemistry
• Earth & Environmental Science
• Physics
• Psychology
• Marine Studies
• Nutrition

These subjects provide a flexible framework that encourages students to be curious, innovative and critical in their chosen context. They apply critical problem- solving skills and incorporate investigative techniques to address real-world problems and challenges. This subject area incorporates the transfer of disciplinary skills and knowledge to individualised contexts.
