Study the principles of science, how chemistry is affecting the Earth, energy, the solar system and the environment. This is a course that looks at how science is used in research, the workplace and industry. The course is split into four separate units, each of which tackles a different area of science: - PRINICPLES OF SCIENCE: You will explore cells, organs and genes, the roles of the nervous and endocrine systems in homeostasis and communication, atomic structure and the periodic table, substances and chemical reaction, the importance of energy stores, energy transfers and energy transformations, the properties and applications of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. - CHEMISTRY AND OUR EARTH: You will investigate: chemical reactivity and bonding, how the uses of chemical substances depend on their chemical and physical properties, the factors involved in the rate of chemical reactions and the factors that are affecting the Earth and its environment. - ENERGY AND OUR UNIVERSE: You will explore: ionising radiation, its uses and sources, how electrical energy produced from different sources can be transferred through the National Grid to homes and industry, the components of the Solar System, the way the Universe is changing and the methods we use to explore space. - BIOLOGY AND OUR ENVIRONMENT: You will investigate the relationships that different organisms have with each other and with their environment, the effects of human activity on the environment and how these effects can be measured and the factors that affect human health.
