2011 - Term 1

Since we were just starting out on Secondary Science, we had to learn the basics.

Topics:
  • Science as an Inquiry
  • Introduction to Science and Technology
  • The Scientific Method: Attitudes and Process Skills
  • Measurements
    • Use of measuring instruments
    • Graphing Techniques
    • Physical Quantities
    • Mass, Weight and Density
I learnt why people want to engage in science and how science brings us knowledge. I also learnt about the dos and don'ts in the laboratory.


For measurements, I learnt about the different measurement units. I also learnt about different measuring instruments such as vernier calipers and the micrometer screw gauge.
