Thinking About Science for Senior Years? Check Out Investigating Science!

If you're curious about how science works in the real world, the Investigating Science course in Years 11 and 12 is a great option to consider.

This subject is designed to help you understand how science is used in everyday life—from the media to medicine, climate change to forensics. It's not just about facts or formulas, but about asking questions, testing ideas, and thinking critically about the world around you.

In Investigating Science, you'll explore how scientists gather evidence, how scientific knowledge changes over time, and how different people and cultures view science. You’ll also learn how to design your own experiments and evaluate scientific claims—skills that are useful in any career.

The course is hands-on and practical, with lots of experiments, investigations, and group work. It suits students who are interested in any of the sciences as well as any other field. It's also great preparation for further study or jobs in health, environmental science, education, or technology.

Why choose it? Because it's flexible, engaging, and helps you become a better problem solver and communicator. Plus, it connects science with real-world issues that matter.

So if you enjoy asking questions, finding out how things work, and learning science in an applied and accessible way, Investigating Science could be the perfect subject for you at the end of Year 10!
