The Science KLA at Brauer College offers subjects across biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science. Students engage in inquiry-based learning, practical investigation, and theoretical study in preparation for STEM pathways and beyond.
The study of science aims to better understand how the natural world works, by observations and/or experimentation. Scientists collect information to test new ideas or to disprove old ones. Studying science can also help satisfy curiosity! Much of a scientist’s work these days is devoted to finding more efficient and ‘cleaner’ ways for society to run, such as renewable energy, agriculture and pollution management. Scientists usually work in research institutions or for private corporations but all have a goal of producing new understanding, products or technologies that contribute to society.
Science is compulsory from Year 7 - 10.
