The sciPAD BIG IDEAS Year 9 workbook is a carefully structured resource aligned with the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0 and VCE 2.0, designed to deepen students’ understanding of the interconnected systems that shape the natural world. Building on prior learning, it challenges students to apply scientific concepts with greater precision and analytical depth across biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth and space science.
Students examine physiological feedback mechanisms and reproductive strategies in living systems, analyse chemical reactions at the atomic level in relation to conservation of mass, and investigate the carbon cycle and climate regulation. In physical sciences, they explore energy transfer and the wave particle behaviour of light and sound. Real world contexts and contemporary issues strengthen relevance and promote systems thinking.
