Learning in science is fundamental to understanding the world in which we live and work. Science finds patterns by making careful observations of the world around us. It helps  people to clarify ideas, to ask questions, to test explanations through measurement and observations and to use their findings to establish the worth of an idea. Science makes an important contribution to the decisions which are shaping our world and the world of future generations.

Level 1 NCEA Science is a course which covers internally and externally assessed standards from the Science domain. Two internally assessed standards and three externally assessed standards, make up this course.
