Introduction

The revised syllabus in Junior Certificate Science has been drawn up to cater for the full range of student ability, aptitude and achievement. The syllabus has three major components, biology, chemistry and physics, and is concerned with the development of scientific knowledge, skills, and concepts. All students, irrespective of syllabus level, will be required to study these three components.

The course is activity-based in its design and emphasises practical experience of science for each individual student.

Through a variety of investigations and experiments, students attain the specified learning outcomes, developing appropriate science process skills and knowledge of underlying science concepts.
