The Environment and Ecosystems

The interdependence of all life on Earth may be the most important thing we need to understand. Students will learn how to describe and analyse these often complex relationships Chatting with aliens considers the nature of communication and how understanding the wave nature of sound and light can help us communicate better All scientists love a good chemical reaction. By seeking patterns we can learn about the fundamental rules that make reactions work. We meet the periodic table

DNA

The discovery of the double helix has helped us solve some of the biggest riddles in life. Why are we who we are? Understanding and measuring chemical reactions is essential to understand how we can make new materials and how nature makes new materials Whether understanding how to avoid hypothermia or seeking solutions to climate change, the study of thermal physics is essential. Physics is often called the fundamental science. Understanding the fundamental properties of charge is essential to not just electricity but chemical reactions in living and non- living things
