Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs J. Langdon.
This is the third year of Junior Science at Whangaparāoa College. Learners are taught in Science classrooms with access to the laboratory spaces for experimental work. Much of the focus in this year’s work is from Level 5 of the NZ Science Curriculum. This course work is a direct continuation of the year 8 and year 9 Science courses.
Course work for 2025 will include:
- Genetics including inheritance and changes in populations over time
- Forces and Motion
- Electricity and Magnetism
- Musculoskeletal and Respiratory systems
- Chemical Reactions including Ion formation, Balancing Equations and reactions of Acids and Bases
- Carbon Chemistry including ,combustion and it's impacts on the environment
