TOSRA

Welcome to Science. Science is taught in Year 9 through a series of topics. Each topic takes approximately 4 weeks to teach. Assessment will be through homework assignments, projects and an end of topic exam. Each test is approximately 40 minutes and will be carried out under test conditions. Doing well in your assessments is extremely important. Clink on the link below for tips on preparing for your end of topic exams. In November you will have a longer end of year examination which will test all the Science work that you have covered in Year 9.

The topics are as follows: This may not necessarily be the order in which your Science teacher will teach the topics. This wiki has dedicated pages for each topic with resources to help you catch up on missed work and prepare for your end of topic exams. Some of your teachers may have a dedicated page for your class which will give you more information about specific tasks set in lessons. See below for specific class links.
