3 Practical Science
3PSCI Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms C. Green.
A course for learners who love doing science investigations and practical experiments but aren’t necessarily interested in all of the theory behind everything ever. A course for the “do-ers”! The focus will be on investigation skills, logical thinking, making and following instructions.
Chance to look at the world around us and learn how to engage with the science that explains it. This includes the formation of New Zealand, the impact of Climate change, also exploring the universe around us and how we can interact with Astronomy.
