Introduction to the Science Faculty
At King’s Park Secondary, our Science Faculty is dedicated to inspiring curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for discovery in all of our students. We offer a broad and dynamic curriculum that covers the core areas of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, with the aim of fostering a deep understanding of the natural world and the scientific principles that shape it.
Our team of enthusiastic and highly qualified teachers is committed to providing engaging lessons that are both challenging and rewarding. We use a range of hands-on experiments and real-world applications to bring science to life, making it accessible and exciting for every student, regardless of their background or level of ability.
Whether you are exploring the mysteries of the human body, investigating chemical reactions, or delving into the laws of physics, the Science Faculty at King’s Park Secondary is here to support you every step of the way. We believe that science is not only about learning facts but also about developing the skills to think critically, solve problems, and make informed decisions in an increasingly complex world.
S1-S3 BGE
Our Broad General Education (BGE) Science course offers students in S1 to S3 a diverse and engaging introduction to science. In S1 and S2, students explore key topics in biology, chemistry, and physics, including Cells and DNA, Chemical Reactions, The Human Body, Electricity, and more. By S3, students specialise in Biology, Chemistry, or Physics, studying topics such as cell structure, genetic engineering, motion, and electricity. The course focuses on developing scientific skills, teamwork, problem-solving, and independent learning.
Senior School
In the Senior Phase (S4-S6), students deepen their understanding of science and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
- Chemistry (National 4 to Advanced Higher): Topics range from chemical reactions and acids to organic chemistry and reaction mechanisms.
- Physics (National 4 to Advanced Higher): Students explore forces, energy, electricity, waves, and advanced topics like quantum physics.
- Biology (National 4 to Advanced Higher): Topics include cell structure, genetics, human biology, and advanced areas like molecular biology and biotechnology.
These courses prepare students for future studies and careers in science, engineering, and medicine.
