Unit 1 — Body systems: how the human body keeps itself alive
Biology · 20 h. Systems; Function, Interaction. Digestion, ventilation, circulation, hormones and nerves, excretion, movement and reproduction — and how the systems work together to keep a person healthy.
Unit 2 — Photosynthesis and respiration: the energy cycle of life
Biology · 20 h. Systems; Transformation, Energy. The equations, the leaf as an organ, limiting factors, feeding the world, and the controlled release of energy in every cell.
Unit 3 — Ecosystems: balance, competition and change
Biology · 15 h. Change; Balance, Environment. From one organism to the biosphere, climate and biomes, sampling an ecosystem, competition and niche, predators and prey.
Unit 4 — Classification, variation and natural selection
Biology · 25 h. Relationships; Evidence, Patterns, Consequences. The five kingdoms, naming and keys, variation, Darwin and Wallace, and the evidence from fossils to resistant bacteria.
Chemistry · 15 h. Change; Interaction, Consequences. Conservation of mass, symbol equations and balancing, types of reaction, exothermic and endothermic change, and the products built from it.
Chemistry · 35 h. Relationships; Evidence, Form, Function. Dissolving and concentration, the pH scale, strong against concentrated, and acids and bases at work in the world.
Chemistry and Physics · 25 h. Relationships and Change; Balance, Transformation, Consequences. Water, carbon and nitrogen, weather against climate, and how a country powers itself.
Physics · 30 h. Systems and Change; Function, Patterns, Evidence, Models. Motion and its graphs, forces, gravity, the Solar System by the numbers, satellites and telescopes.
Physics · 10 h. Relationships; Interaction, Function, Energy. Heat against temperature, conduction, convection and radiation, specific heat capacity and thermal expansion.
Physics · 15 h. Systems; Form, Function. Charge and current, series and parallel circuits, circuit calculations and power, and the electrical system a community relies on.
Physics · 15 h. Relationships; Function, Development, Evidence, Patterns. Rays, shadows and reflection, refraction and colour, how sound travels, and how the eye and the ear work.
