ABOUT THE COURSE

Key features of the curriculum

Resources

Online interactives and simple hands-on opportunities bring the topics to life for all kinds of students.

Interdisciplinary

Not locked into a single branch of science, the topics show how knowledge of biology, chemistry, and physics interconnect.

Newsworthy

The topics addressed regularly show up in news stories, providing opportunities to read and debate current issues.

Career-Informed

More than showing them how scientists discover laws of nature, the topics show how science fits in many technical careers.
