Why study science?

By studying science, students:
• develop an understanding of the world, built on current scientific theories;
• learn that science involves particular processes and ways of developing and organising knowledge and that these continue to evolve;
• use their current scientific knowledge and skills for problem solving and developing further knowledge;
• use scientific knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about the communication, application, and implications of science as these relate to their own lives and cultures and to the sustainability of the environment.
