This is the first unit of study in a suite of concurrent science curriculum units. In this unit, students will consider how discipline knowledge is organised, taught, and experienced across the secondary school years. The unit will emphasise the integration of knowledge within and across the science discipline and consider the role teachers play in facilitating science pedagogy that considers the subject and connects to students' lives. This unit will provide students with the practical and theory-informed knowledge required to respond to the needs of diverse learners in science.
