Below is an outline of the concepts covered for each term. The textbook has the material divided into: MATERIAL WORLD, LIVING WORLD, EARTH AND SPACE and TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD. During term 3, there will be various opportunities where we will re-visit earlier topics so the students can prepare for final exams throughout the last half of term 3.

Background Information
Students should be building on their science knowledge each year. For every theme I have put together a list of objectives that should have been covered in one of the previous three years of science and are considered to be the base knowledge of students beginning Secondary IV. Throughout the course it is possible students will encounter questions/expectations where this base knowledge is necessary. I am suggesting students take a look at this list for the start of every theme and if they feel they have not covered relevant topics then they should either see me for extra help or consult their textbooks to try and read on the topics.
