Science and STEM

"The Science Program is designed to develop, in students, specific science understanding, relevant to the unit being studied, an appreciation of science as a human endeavour and science inquiry skills."
In 2013 MAPS was successful in an application for a two year grant to train and provide funding for two Specialist Science Teachers. The grant allowed for two part time teachers for two years.

The Science program has grown and developed since then, so much so, that in 2017 Science has become a full time Specialist program, incorporating a dedicated Science room. Every student, from Foundation to Year 6, is provided with Science as an integral part of their curriculum each term. Foundation - Year 2 students have a 40 minute lesson each week, whilst Years 3 - 6 have an 80 minute lesson every two weeks. The Science program is designed to develop, in students, specific science understanding, relevant to the unit being studied, an appreciation of science as a human endeavour and science inquiry skills. 

Over the four terms each year level will explore, through investigations and hands-on activities, a unit in Biological, Chemical, Physical and Earth & Space Science. STEM based units, which require students to find solutions to given problems using Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths, will gradually be introduced throughout the year.
