How did the Earth get to be the way it is today? What is the Earth made of and how do we use it? Big Idea - What are we doing to the Earth and how can we prevent permanent damage? Big Idea - What impact will new materials have on our lives? Curriculum for Excellence - draft outcomes CfE (Planet Earth - Sustainability) (Level Second) - SCN 201A - I can assess the sustainability of my school environment and by helping to create and carry out an action plan to make improvements I can record how my responsible actions make a difference over time.
CfE (Energy in the Environment - Energy Sources) (Level First) - SCN 108G - I can give examples of how fuels are used and discuss their importance in meeting the basic needs of humans in local and global communities.
CfE (Planet Earth - Sustainability) (Level Second) - SCN 202A - I can research a major environmental or sustainability issue of national or global importance and report on my findings.
CfE (Materials - Properties and uses) (Level Second) - SCN 232X - Having planned and carried out an investigation into a property of a material, I can evaluate the effectiveness of the material for its purpose.
CfE (Materials - Properties and uses) (Level Third) - SCN 325X - By investigation and research, I have explored properties of novel materials and can convey my understanding of the innovative commercial and industrial applications of these materials and their potential benefits to society.
CfE (Topical Science) (Level Second) - SCN 236BB - I can report and comment on a current scientific news item to develop my awareness of topical science.
