scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of Biology, Chemistry and Physics
understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science, through different types of scientific enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them
and learn to apply observational, practical, modelling, enquiry and problem-solving skills in the laboratory, in the field and in other learning environments
their ability to evaluate claims based on science through critical analysis of the methodology, evidence and conclusions, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
