Composed of the following subjects Biology Chemistry Physics You can only choose to do a maximum of 2 Chemistry Biology Physics
1 Change 2 Systems 3 Relationships KEY CONCEPTS IN SCIENCE
Change Change can be irreversible, reversible or self-perpetuating change is viewed as the difference in a system’s state when observed at different times. change could be qualitative (such as differences in structure, behaviour, or level) quantitative (such as a numerical variable or a rate).
Systems Systems are sets of interacting or interdependent components. Systems provide structure and order in human, natural and built environments. Systems can be static or dynamic, simple or complex. Systems in sciences describe sets of components that function due to their interdependence or complementary nature. Common systems in science are closed systems, where resources are not removed or replaced, and open systems, where necessary resources are renewed regularly. Modelling often uses closed systems to simplify or limit variables.
Relationships are the connections and associations between properties, objects, people and ideas—including the human community’s connections with the world in which we live. Any change in relationship brings consequences—some of which may occur on a small scale, while others may be far reaching, affecting large networks and systems such as human societies and the planetary ecosystem. Relationships in sciences indicate the connections found among variables through observation or experimentation. These relationships also can be tested through experimentation. Scientists often search for the connections between form and function. Modelling is also used to represent relationships where factors such as scale, volume of data, or time make other methods impractical.
RELATED CONCEPTS
GLOBAL CONCEPTS
Global Contexts Identities and relationships Students will explore identity; beliefs and values; personal, physical, mental, social and spiritual health; human relationships including families, friends, communities and cultures; what it means to be human. Orientation in space and time Students will explore personal histories; homes and journeys; turning points in humankind; discoveries; explorations and migrations of humankind; the relationships between and the interconnectedness of individuals and civilizations from personal, local and global perspectives. Personal and cultural expression Students will explore the ways in which we discover and express ideas, feelings, nature, culture, beliefs and values; the ways in which we reflect on, extend and enjoy our creativity; our appreciation of the aesthetic. Scientific and technical innovation Students will explore the natural world and its laws; the interaction between people and the natural world; how humans use their understanding of scientific principles; the impact of scientific and technological advances on communities and environments; the impact of environments on human activity; how humans adapt environments to their needs. Globalization and sustainability Students will explore the interconnectedness of human- made systems and communities; the relationship between local and global processes; how local experiences mediate the global; the opportunities and tensions provided by world- interconnectedness; the impact of decision-making on humankind and the environment. Fairness and development Students will explore rights and responsibilities; the relationship between communities; sharing finite resources with other people and with other living things; access to equal opportunities; peace and conflict resolution.
SUBJECT TOPICS
ATLs
ASSESSMENTS ASSESSMENTS SUMMATIVE FORMATIVE Specific criterion as Identified by the teacher ABCD All criterion covered in formative assessment will be reflected in the summative assessment
Assessments It is a continuous process that takes place throughout an entire lesson in every grade level and subject area. Formative assessment is any activity that provides students with developmental feedback on their progress during the learning process and informs the design of the next steps for instruction. It helps teachers and students evaluate progress in terms of understanding and skill acquisition, providing guidance and feedback for subsequent teaching and learning. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS GOAL PROGRESS FEEDBACK
Summative assessment Teachers clarify the expectations for each summative assessment task with direct reference to these assessment criteria. Task-specific clarifications are provided by the teacher explaining what students are expected to know and do. (it may be: a detailed task sheet basing on the criteria covered )
Criterion followed while Assessing Criterion A: Knowing and understanding Criterion B: Inquiring and designing Criterion C: Processing and evaluating Criterion D: Reflecting on the impacts of science Illustrating the marking criteria Each criterion has a maximum of 8
