  • Explore the biological, chemical, geological and physical evidence for different theories, such as the theories of natural selection and the Big Bang
  • Connect atomic theory development with relationships in the periodic table
  • Develop an understanding of how motion and forces are related by applying physical laws
  • Form relationships between aspects of the living, physical and chemical world are applied to systems on a local and global scale and predict how changes will affect equilibrium within these systems.
  • Explore how chemical reactions are used to produce particular products and how different factors influence the rate of reactions
