About this Unit
This unit will be replaced by 300391 - Integrated Science 1 from 2013. Integrated Science 1 is an innovative new introductory unit aimed at breaking the barriers and connecting the concepts between the traditional science disciplines. The content is based on the science that is important for the future of life on earth, often spanning discipline areas including physics, chemistry, biology and maths. The central role of mathematics is emphasized throughout. The pedagogy has at its heart a problem-based learning experience for students, so that they are engaged in an authentic and meaningful learning experience. Problem solving analysis and communication are stressed over rote learning and regurgitation of facts.
