Year 11 Additional Science
Subject Description
Head of Faculty: Mrs S. Boasman.
Year 11 Science
The Year 11 General Science course is compulsory in Year 11 at Baradene College.
Students may then choose the Year 11 Additional Science course as an optional subject.
The Additional Science course is highly recommended for students who have a strong interest in the sciences and are considering taking two or more sciences in Year 12. It is taken in addition to General Science and it provides the opportunity for students to gain a wider and deeper foundational knowledge and skill set in all three specialist areas of the Sciences.
This dual pathway is strongly advised for those students who wish to do Chemistry and/or Physics at Year 12.
Year 11 Additional Science
This course involves further study from the specialist areas of Biology, Chemistry and Physics to provide students with a broader Science background to understand everyday science, prepare for the workforce or to choose further study pathways (secondary and tertiary) in all specialist areas. It is recommended for students to take this optional science alongside the General Science if they are considering doing double or triple science in Year 12.
At this stage the course will include heat and energy, quantitative analysis (titrations) and qualitative analysis (ion identification); organ systems; and microbe and the ecosystem.
Subject Overview
Term 1
Use scientific knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about the communication, application, and implications of science, as these relate to individual lives and cultures and to the sustainability of the environment.
Topic: Biology - Microbes in their Ecosystem and Organ systems.
Term 2
Use current scientific knowledge and skills for problem-solving and developing further knowledge.
Topic: Chemistry – Qualitative Analysis (the identification of unknown ions); Qualitative Analysis (Titrations
Term 3
Develop an understanding of the world, built on current scientific theories;
Learn that Science involves particular processes and ways of developing and organising knowledge and that these continue to evolve.
Topic: Physics- Heat and Energy, Interpreting Heating and Cooling curves, Specific Heat Capacity- Measuring and Calculations.
Term 4
Revision and extension.
Prepare students for success in the End of Year examinations (Year 11 Baradene Certificate) and further study pathways.
Prerequisites
Merits attained in End of Year 10 exam or recommendation from science teacher.
