Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) and students

contemporary music, or under certain circumstances undertake
cross-over units from either stream.

Physical Science Education
The science and education units in this major will focus on
teaching processes and content that equips graduates to
teach general science in lower secondary school and to
take a specialist teaching role in physical science courses
(e.g. chemistry and physics) in upper secondary school (Years 11
and 12).
Emphasis is given to inquiry-based practical work,
demonstrations, co-operative group work, whole class
discussions and use of information communication technology
to ensure effective learning and teaching practices in secondary
science. Planning, teaching and assessment strategies will be
developed within a range of science content areas.
Units in this major address key physical science understandings
and provide the extended content knowledge needed to
address the demands and opportunities of the secondary
school physical science curriculum.
