Level 2 Space Science
Course Description
This course is for those learners that are interested in Earth and Space Science, especially how humans can explore our solar system and investigate the rest of the universe. The overarching focus of the course is to learn about the formation of our solar system and how scientists go about detecting whether the conditions for life exist on other planets, and if so, what that life may be. This course can help develop understanding of the Level 3 Earth and Space Science course which is a good 3rd subject choice for university entrance.
