Welcome to S1 science!!
The S1 course sees all pupils undertake a 4-week long starter unit named “This is Science!”. Over the course of this unit, pupils will learn all of the basic skills needed within the science laboratory.
Classes will then complete 10 week long rotations of three topics; one on each curricular area (biology, chemistry, physics). All units combine experimental work with interactive activities, experimental work and theory. At the end of each unit is a test to give an idea of how our pupils are progressing, whilst we also conduct a range of other assessments looking at various scientific skills.
