The new Science 10 curriculum has been designed around four big ideas:
1. DNA is the basis for the diversity of living things.
2. Energy change is required as atoms rearrange in chemical processes.
3. Energy is conserved, and its transformation can affect living things and the environment.
4. The formation of the universe can be explained by the big bang theory.
The course will use a variety of learning strategies such as laboratory work, projects, inquiry and design and application of innovative technology.
