In this unit, students will have the opportunity to apply scientific methodology (including knowledge, skills, and experimental design considerations) to collaboratively investigate simple problems and case studies within the context of a specialist area. Through this process, students will build skills and knowledge to effectively engage in culturally inclusive practices in science. Conclusions drawn from the investigation will be effectively communicated following critical evaluation of data. Students will also further develop critical thinking and communication skills through the critique of scientific literature.
1. Develop the personal skills, capabilities and knowledge necessary to meet the work standards expected in scientific professions;
2. Apply the principles of scientific methodology to investigate simple problems and case studies;
