Year 10 Science

This course builds on the foundations laid in Year 9 and covers all strands of the Science curriculum: Living World (Biology), Material World (Chemistry), Physical World (Physics), and Planet Earth and Beyond. Students will explore a wide range of engaging and relevant topics designed to deepen their understanding of the natural world.

There is a strong emphasis on developing practical investigation, critical thinking, and research skills, all of which prepare ākonga for success in the NCEA Level 1 Science programme and beyond. The course also encourages scientific literacy, problem-solving, and making meaningful connections to real-world contexts, including Aotearoa New Zealand’s unique environment and diverse cultures.
