SCIENCE - Preparatory 1- Term 1
Klassenstufen:
Bildungssystem: National English
1. Develop a foundational understanding of atomic structure, chemical properties, and force fields, enabling students to analyze matter, interpret the periodic table, and explain fundamental forces (electric, magnetic, gravitational) in the physical world.
Lernziele:
1. Explain the structure of atoms (protons, neutrons, electrons) and their role in matter composition.
2. Relate atomic structure to the periodic table, including isotopes and chemical activity.
3. Analyze physical/chemical properties of substances and atomic bonding (e.g., water, carbon).
4. Conduct experiments to demonstrate non-contact forces (electric, magnetic, gravitational).
5. Compare force types and factors affecting gravitational force.
6. Apply scientific inquiry skills (data analysis, modeling) to validate theories.
7. Appreciate the historical contributions of scientists (Rutherford, Mendeleev).
2. Understand the fundamental principles of life science (cellular structure, classification of organisms, microbiology) and Earth/space science (solar system dynamics, eclipses, planetary characteristics), enabling students to analyze biological systems and astronomical phenomena.
Lernziele:
1. Explain cellular theory and classify organisms (prokaryotes/eukaryotes, unicellular/multicellular).
2. Relate cell functions to the characteristics of life (e.g., stem cell differentiation).
3. Analyze the roles of microorganisms (beneficial vs. harmful) in ecosystems and human health.
4. Describe the Earth-Sun-Moon system, including planetary comparisons and orbital mechanics.
5. Explain astronomical phenomena (lunar/solar eclipses, seasons) using evidence-based models.
6. Interpret data on planetary characteristics and solar system organization.
7. Appreciate scientific contributions to biology and astronomy.
