This course is for those students who are not choosing to study a discrete science (such as biology or chemistry) in their third year. It covers fundamental aspects of biology, chemistry and physics and develops scientific inquiry and investigation skills. This course can lead into the National 5 Laboratory Science course which can be taken in S4/5/6 and provides a good foundation for National 5 level practical scientific techniques. Students will also be able to develop their research and communication skills and will learn about the application of science in everyday life.
