What will I learn?
The new Transdisciplinary Science course is designed to engage students in inquiry based approaches to design, plan, and undertake investigations on a short term or more extended scale, responding to local or global situations. The focus for this course will be climate science - a transdisciplinary area which draws on all traditional scientific disciplines to address the most significant challenge of our time.Ā
Ā
Both collaboratively and individually, students will employ a scientific approach to collecting, representing, analysing data, and using technological tools effectively. After critically evaluating their procedures or models, students communicate scientifically to draw evidence-based conclusions that may lead to further testing, exploring more effective methods or solutions, or new questions. They will be equipped to navigate, understand and adapt to what we experience as 21st Century learners.

Why should I consider this course?
This course would be suitable for all students who have an interest in climate change, who are concerned about the future and who wish to develop their scientific literacy skills. Skills developed in this course will allow students to make informed decisions, engage in positive meaningful public debate and become change makers.Ā

What Skills does this course provide?
Whilst studying this course, students will have the opportunity to:
- Apply required knowledge and skills to demonstrate personal responsibility and accountability for the quality of defined outcomes, as individuals and team members; and
- Demonstrate skills to access, develop, summarise, analyse and communicate knowledge and ideas; develop and access expertise when solving problems; think creatively, flexibly and work with others.
What Pathway Options does this course provide?
Skills developed in this course would provide a pathway into other level 3 pre tertiary sciences if desired. This course also provides general scientific literacy, data interpretation and analytical thinking skills which are transferable skills in their own right.
