Year 11 Science

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.
