Science and Technology

In Science and Technology students learn about natural and built environments. Study of these environments leads to a greater understanding of buildings and structures, information and communication, living things, physical phenomena, products and services and the earth and its surroundings. The NSW Science and Technology Curriculum facilitates learning about the subject matter of Natural and Built Environments through the learning processes of Investigating Scientifically and Designing and Making.

Subject matter in HSIE and Science and Technology can sometimes interrelate and often provides a meaningful context to facilitate learning of content and skills in other Key Learning Areas such as English, Mathematics and Creative Arts. Most grade excursions are chosen to support learning in either HSIE or Science and Technology.
