Half year compulsory course
Year 9 Science is designed to introduce students to scientific thinking and the tikanga in the laboratory, while enabling them to develop an understanding of the world around them by learning about:
Energy in Chemistry - changing states and separation techniques
Energy in Plants - why plants are essential living organisms for our planet
Energy in Physics - energy transformations, conduction, convection and radiation, fair testing.

9 Forensic Science
Half year option
Forensic Science is the application of many scientific disciplines to the investigation of crimes. In this course, students will use Biology, Chemistry and Physics to analyse and interpret crime scene evidence. We will begin with an introduction to scientific inquiry and the process of forensic investigation. Knowledge of investigation is then applied to the analysis of trace evidence, such as hair, fibres, fingerprints, and DNA.

Space and Us investigates the perils our planet faces from human impacts, natural cycles, as well as surviving meteorite impacts in the future. We study our solar system and explore planets and dangers beyond our solar system. Students will launch a high-speed water rocket and look for answers to questions including:
“Does extraterrestrial life exist?
“Is it practical to travel to the stars?”
