Biology
In National Biology studying cell biology, you will learn more about the cell structure; transport across its membranes; DNA, the production of proteins and enzymes; genetic engineering and respiration.
You will investigate multicellular biology and discover how cells produce new cells, learn of the importance of control and communication in the body, how organisms reproduce and how they pass on their genes to their offspring. You will study how materials are transported and absorbed in plants and animals.
Extending your knowledge about life on Earth, you will look at different ecosystems and find out how organisms are distributed; photosynthesis; energy flow; food production and evolution.

Chemistry
Chemistry
The National Chemistry course will focus on the materials that make up everything around us and how they interact.
From particles smaller than an atom, to molecules that shape our everyday lives, you will develop your knowledge of chemistry using a variety of approaches including hands-on practical activities, investigations and problem solving. You will carry out research, apply scientific skills and communicate your findings.
Amongst some of the topics studied are fuels and energy, plastics, acids and bases, electrochemistry, metals, atom structure, bonding and properties, nuclear chemistry and formula writing, giving you a broad overview of chemistry’s influence.

Physics
Physics
In National Physics you will study the fundamental laws that govern the universe and everything within it.
By exploring how matter and energy interact, physicists seek to explain the behaviour of everything from tiny particles to vast galaxies. In this course you will learn about the basic rules that define motion, electricity, heat energy, radiation, waves and space exploration.
Through experiments and calculations you will be able to explain the working of everyday things, modern inventions and even the universe itself.

Science
Science
The National 3/4 Science course gives you a broad understanding of science by combining topics from Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
Developing your scientific skills through a series of practical activities linked to the study of these areas, you will learn more about energy sources, metals and their uses through experimental tasks. You will develop your understanding of factors leading to healthy lifestyles and you will further deepen your knowledge of the circulatory and respiratory systems.
You will investigate everyday applications of science and explore how science contributes to communication technologies and identify the impact that these have on the environment and society.
