Unit ASc6 – Carrying out a scientific experiment, which involves the learners developing a varying array of practical and experimental skills.
Unit ASc9 – Protecting the environment, where we cover endangered species, global warming and recycling. This leads to a project of having an eco-Christmas at school.
Unit ASc12 – Crime Scene and Evidence, where we learn all types of forensic techniques such as:
​
-
Fuming for fingerprints
-
Blood type analysis and hair analysis under a microscope.
We use these skills to analyse a mock crime scene and find the culprit.
