“The Christian faith of the early scientists gave them more than presuppositions; it also gave them motivation. They believed that in studying nature they were discovering the wisdom and power of the Creator and were thus honouring Him.” - James F. Jekel
OVERVIEW
The study of Science incorporates development in theory understanding, experimental skills, investigation planning, critical thinking and problem solving. In studying body coordination and disease, students gain comprehension of biological systems and the human endeavour to resolve illness. The Year 9 students complete this unit by implementing a student designed investigation in plant antimicrobials. Through the study of electricity, chemical properties and reactions, as well as plate tectonics, students understand how the chemical and physical sciences are governed by set laws.

ASSESSMENT
“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” Job 12:7-10
