Course summary

We aim to provide students with the knowledge of interactions between biological, chemical, and physical systems that enable them to explain everyday experiences. We endeavor to empower students with the knowledge required to continue questioning the world around them beyond their Grace journey. Students will gain key skills that will facilitate their investigation of scientific ideas both theoretically and practically, as well as through extra-curricular events, encouraging a healthy curiosity about the nature of the universe. This allows our students to "think like a scientist", from both a knowledge and skills-based perspective. Science at Grace Academy will foster an approach that allows our students to recognize the diversity of scientists and promote and ignite aspirations for a career in a scientific field. Topics: • Biological molecules • Cell structure • DNA replication and protein synthesis • Cell membranes Photosynthesis must come before respiration as it is a simpler mechanism that allows students to build up to respiration. Inheritance teaches the basics of genetics which leads to population genetics.
