Back to AIS
Today’s exciting developments in science and technology permeate every aspect of our lives, and this is the context in which science at AIS is experienced.
Our goal is to develop positive attitudes towards science through helping students understand the role of science in everyday life and the satisfaction that can be achieved through a science-based hobby or a career in science.
Our practically-oriented program has been designed to ensure that students are energised and enthused to learn more about the world they inhabit, and the processes that occur within it.
In their scientific studies, our students discover patterns in everyday events associated with the chemical, physical, biological and earth sciences. They predict outcomes and compare, order and classify information and learn to interpret and analyse scientific data. Laboratory activities at High school integrate observation, application, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The biological, chemical, physical and psychological concepts encountered in science provide endless scope and fascination for our students.
At Year 11 and 12, students can study the subject area of Biology.
As a biologist, you learn to question, investigate and better appreciate the natural world.
Recent progress in genetic engineering and biotechnology means that genetically modified sheep can better withstand drought and produce a full wool clip with less feed; executed “criminals” have been proven innocent of their former crimes; and the list goes on.
Biology students study the life around them, enabling them to discuss and understand the issues of the future.
