Science Extension

Science Extension

Science Extension is designed for students with an interest in scientific research. The Science Extension Stage 6 Syllabus focuses on the nature, development and processes of science.

The course requires students to engage with complex concepts and theories and to critically evaluate new ideas, discoveries and contemporary scientific research. Through designing and conducting their own scientific research, initially using small datasets, students deepen and build upon their understanding of analysing and interpreting data. Students gather, examine, model and critically assess evidence that is informed by analysis of primary and secondary-sourced data and examining this data in relation to relevant publicly available data sets.
