This lesson on the nature of science
describes the
scientific method - what science is
and how it is used to investigate the
natural world, from a hypothesis
to an experiment
to published data. We will focus on experiment
design and data analysis, to formulate
well-supported theories. Finally, we will
look at the impact science has had on
society and how it is (often wrongly)
communicated to the public. By the end of
this lesson, a student should understand how
to think critically and skeptically, and how
to formulate a hypothesis,
design an experiment
to test that hypothesis
and analyse the data to come up with a
conclusion. 
This lesson on the earth
and space takes you through our planet
and and briefly through the rest of the
universe. We will first describe planets,
stars,
moons,
asteroids,
galaxies and the origin of the
universe. We then look more closely
at the planets
in our own solar system and look how the
spin and orbit of the
earth and moon influence day and
night, seasons, months and eclipses.
Finally we will discuss weather, climate
and climate
change.
This physics lesson on electricity
and electronics first describes magnetism,
magnets
and magnetic
fields. We then take a look at
static and current electricity
and how they work. We'll also describe the
different components of an electrical
circuit and how a circuit works. Finally, we
will look at different applications
of electricity and electronics in
our homes and in modern technology.
This physics lesson discusses how to
measure and calculate different physical
properties - mass,
length,
area,
volume,
density,
force,
work,
power,
pressure,
speed
and acceleration.
We also take a look at the different sources
and forms of energy,
and how energy
can be converted from one form to another.
Finally, we look in more detail at three
forms of energy:
heat,
light and sound.
This chemistry lesson is about atoms
and bonding.
We will first describe the structure of an
atom,
subatomic
particles (protons,
neutrons
and electrons)
and why some atoms
are more stable than others. We will then
study how atoms
form chemical bonds
to make molecules
and how to balance chemical equations.
Finally we will discuss a group of chemical
compounds called hydrocarbons,
how they are used to make plastics and their
impact on the environment. 
This chemistry lesson focuses on air
and water.
Discussing air,
we will cover the composition of air,
oxygen, carbon dioxide
and corrosion and rusting.
On water,
we will describe solubility
and solutions,
water
hardness, water
treatment and the electrolysis
of water.
We will then discuss the 6 experiments
associated with air
and water.
This chemistry lesson describes the
different types of chemical substances. We
first describe the three states
of matter - solids, liquids and
gases, and changes of state. We'll look at
the
periodic table of elements,
metals and non-metals, and explain the
difference between a mixture
and a compound
and the different ways of separating
mixtures in a lab. Finally, we cover
acids,
bases
and the pH
scale - and the two experiments associated
with them.
In this biology lesson, we
cover living
things, cells,
plants,
ecology
and microbiology.
First, we will discuss the different types of living
things and how animals and plants
are made from different types of cells.
Next, we will describe how organisms within an
environment interact with each other (ecology).
Then we will look at the structure, transport,
photosynthesis,
growth and reproduction of plants.
Finally, we will discuss the microorganisms -
bacteria, fungi and viruses
- which we cannot see without a
microscope. The lesson also covers the
mandatory experiments
associated with these topics.
In this biology lesson, we
cover skeletal and musculoskeletal
system, sensory
system, reproductive
system and an overview of genetics.
First, we will discuss the skeletal and muscular
systems and they work to help us move. Then, we
will describe the sensory
system, with a focus on the human eye.
Finally, we will study the human reproductive
system, how a zygote
develops into a baby and how your DNA
contributes to make you a lot of who you are.
In this biology lesson, we
cover food,
digestion,
transport and excretion.
First, we will discuss the different types of food
molecules, and then how the body digests them
using the digestive
system and large proteins called enzymes.
Then, we will describe how the molecules from
our food
are transported around the body (cardiovascular
system) and how they are used to produce
energy (aerobic
respiration). Finally, we will describe
how waste products are removed from the body (excretion).
The lesson also covers the mandatory experiments
associated with these topics.
This lesson focuses
on tectonic
plates, the earth' structure and
landforms of tectonic activity. This is done
using interactive information pages, videos and
quizzes.
This lesson focuses on the
formation of positive and negative aspects of
various types of renewable energy as well as
some of the earth's natural resources.
This lesson focuses on the
different types of world climates and the
impacts they have on the land as well as the
various types of weather and key terms
associated with them.
This lesson focuses on the
three sectors in economic activity as well as
the presence of economic inequality.
This lesson focuses on the
formation of features of coastal and river
erosion and deposition
as well as the causes, influences and types of
erosion and deposition.
This lesson focuses on the
formation, composition and types of soils
as well as the causes, influences and types of
mass
movement.
This lesson focuses on the
topics associated with rocks, weathering and
karst landscapes. This is done using interactive
information pages, videos and quizzes.
This lesson focuses
on tectonic
plates, the earth' structure and
landforms of tectonic activity. This is done
using interactive information pages, videos and
quizzes.
