Level 2 Applied Science
Course selection has now closed. Students wishing to make changes to or complete subject selection should see their dean in the first instance.
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Whaea C. Northage
This science course is for students who wish to take a general science course rather than pursue the individual sciences. Whenever possible, a hands-on approach to science is used.
All assessment will be carried out internally and so this course is not eligible for endorsement. Upon successful completion of the course, students may wish to take a Level 2 course in an individual science.
A selection of four Achievement Standards will be completed over the course of the year. The number of credits offered in this course will be 14 or 15 credits. The most likely combination is listed below. However, depending on student and teacher preference, the following standards are alternative options:
A.S. 91154 v2 Biology 2.2 - Analyse the biological validity of information presented to the public
A.S. 91160 v2 Biology 2.8 - Investigate biological material at the microscopic level
A.S. 91169 v2 Physics 2.2 - Demonstrate understanding of physics relevant to a selected context
A.S. 91189 v2 Earth and Space Science 2.3 - Investigate geological processes in a New Zealand locality
A.S. 91911 v1 Chemistry 2.2 - Carry out an investigation into chemical species present in a sample using qualitative analysis
