Our Year 10 Science tutors focus on helping students achieve key outcomes, such as understanding genetic diversity, explaining natural selection, and analyzing the evidence supporting the Big Bang theory. We guide students in investigating chemical reactions, using Newton’s laws to describe motion, and exploring global climate systems. Our goal is to support students in planning and conducting scientific investigations, analyzing data, and communicating their findings with clarity, ensuring they are well-prepared for advanced studies in science.
Biological Sciences:
Students explore how the processes of meiosis and mitosis contribute to genetic diversity and how natural selection shapes the evolution of species. Our tutors guide them in using models to predict patterns of inheritance and analyze evidence from the fossil record and anatomical similarities that support the theory of evolution.
Earth and Space Sciences:
Students study the Big Bang theory and the evidence that supports it, such as cosmic microwave background radiation and redshift. Our tutors help them understand how the universe has evolved over time and explore the energy flows between Earth’s spheres that drive global climate systems.
Physical Sciences:
Students investigate Newton’s laws of motion and the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. Our tutors support them in using mathematical representations to analyze motion, exploring concepts like gravity and friction through practical experiments.
Chemical Sciences:
Students learn about atomic structure and how the periodic table organizes elements based on their properties. They explore chemical reactions, including synthesis and decomposition, and analyze factors affecting reaction rates. Our tutors guide them in using equations to represent chemical changes and understand the conservation of mass.
Science as a Human Endeavour:
Students analyze how scientific knowledge is validated through peer review and publication, and how technological advances drive new scientific discoveries. Our tutors provide examples of how scientific research addresses societal needs, encouraging students to think critically about the interaction between science and society.
Science Inquiry:
Our tutors encourage students to develop investigable questions, design experiments, and collect precise data. They guide students in constructing graphs, analyzing patterns, and evaluating the reliability of their methods, helping them draw well-supported conclusions and communicate their findings effectively.
