The Science faculty at Millburn Academy includes the Biology, Chemistry and Physics departments.
In first and second year integrated Science is based on the third level of the Broad General Education (BGE). In third year learners can choose any recommended combination of Biology, Chemistry and Physics to cover fourth level of BGE.
In fourth year and above in the Senior Phase learners choose National 4, National 5, Higher or Advanced Higher Biology, Chemistry and Physics often achieving relatively good results. Expected progress in courses is shown in our Year plans We are keen to involve local scientists and engineers in our learning.
We currently have 11 teachers and two school technicians who are based in Science. All classes are taught in laboratories with resources stored in the technician base.
