Science

Our Year 10 science program combines core Stage 5 (Year 9 & 10) science content with accelerated content from corresponding HSC science subjects. By the end of the year with us, students will have mastered a range of skills including hypothesis testing, predictions, problem solving, conducting investigations, analysing data, in addition to having covered content from the core Stage 5 syllabus areas of the Chemical World, the Physical World, the Living World and Earth & Space. They will also have been introduced to advanced concepts and skills that both deepen their scientific understanding and aptitude, and prepare them to excel in HSC science subjects.

Students can commence their studies once they’ve successfully enrolled in the subject. They will review content from the previous week’s lessons to ensure they understand core concepts and recap their key learnings to demonstrate their knowledge and retention.

There are four terms in science for year 10, including:

Term 1 — The Physical World: Students study the particle and wave models, along with the physics of motion. Through this, they gain an understanding of theories and phenomena at the heart of the physical world. They also develop foundational skills of physics study including explaining physical phenomena, applying quantitative methods to solve real-world problems and conducting scientific experiments.
Term 2 — The Living World: Students study core concepts of biology, including disease, reproduction, genetics and cell division. Through this study, they develop a core understanding of biological concepts and theories that will deepen their understanding of the natural world and prepare them for future study in biology.
Term 3 — Earth and Space: Students study astronomical models of the solar system and universe, along with the geological structure and forces that shape the Earth. Through this, students deepen their understanding of the natural world and prepare for future study across a range of scientific disciplines.
Term 4 — The Chemical World: Students study fundamental concepts of chemistry including different structures of matter and the forces that hold matter together or break it apart.Through this study, they develop a strong understanding of the chemical world in way that equips them to analyse chemical systems in a range of practical contexts as well as in their future studies.

Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique used to identify substances by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. In senior science, it is often used to help identify unknown compounds.

Photosynthesis is the process plants use to make food using sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. This process produces glucose for energy and releases oxygen as a by-product.

Year 10 Science tutoring helps students build stronger science knowledge, improve confidence with school assessments and prepare for Year 11 science subjects such as Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
