Level 3 Science UE Approved
SCIUE Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: E. Combrinck.
Recommended Prior LearningStudents should have at least 8 credits of level 2 Science in any of Sc 201, Bio 201, Chem 201, Chem 200, Phys 201. But this is open entry with the most important criteria is an interest in studying science.
This course is made up of standards from Earth and Space Science, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It is designed as a possible pathway for students who might do university degree or just have a general interest in Science.
It will count as a domain towards UE and contains credits towards UE literacy (reading) and UE Literacy (writing).
Due to clashes with standards this is a standalone Science course and is not intended to be studied with BIO UE, CHE UE, PHY UE and/or ESSUE.
Our specific areas of study are: Impacts of climate change, how a speed gun works and how we know the universe is expanding, how we measure the distance to stars and galaxies, how the ozone layer forms and the ozone hole, and explores the evidence of human evolution.
