Earth and Space

Activities in in this section are suggested support the Junior Cycle Science Earth & Space Strand

Chemical World

This strand involves the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Students will develop understandings of the composition and properties of matter, the changes it undergoes, and the energy involved.

Physical World

This involves the exploration of physical observables, often in relation to motion, energy, and electricity. Students gain an understanding of fundamental concepts such as length, time, mass and temperature through appropriate experiments.

Biological World

This strand leads students to an understanding of living things and how they interact with each other and the environment. Students develop an understanding of the diversity of life, life processes and how life has evolved. They will explore body systems and how they interact and learn about human health.

Nature of Science

Nature of Science description section.

Climate Change

This strand gives students an understanding of what climate change is, what causes it, and what impacts it may have.
