Course Description

The topics covered in Year 9 are:

  • Biology: Ecology Cells and Human Digestion
  • Chemistry: States of Matter and Separation Techniques
  • Physics: Energy, Light and Sound
  • Planet Earth and Beyond: Planets and Astronomic Cycles 


 We will assess these topics through tests, research assignments and practical assessments.
