In Science and Technology the students at St Columba's School will develop competence, confidence and responsibility in their interactions with science and technology.
The four strands of Science and Technology are Investigating Scientifically
In this subject, students find out about the world in a systematic way. They learn science is not just a body of knowledge but also a process of investigation - findings are accepted if they can be verified.
The study of technology is concerned with the purposeful and creative use of resources to meet particular needs or goals.
It extends beyond the tools and technical inventions of society. It involves the application of human skills, knowledge, techniques and processes to practical problem-solving situations in a range of contexts.
