Science, History, Geography and Technology


The subjects Science, History, Geography and Technology are often taught as an integrated inquiry unit at Arawang Primary School. The subjects follow the Australian Curriculum in these areas.

Science is divided into three main strands - Science Understanding, Science as a Human Endeavour and Science Inquiry Skills. Each main strand then has different areas of its own. For example the strand Science Understanding is broken into Biological Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Earth and Space Sciences and Physical Sciences. Across each school year, students at Arawang Primary School are taught the required content from each strand.

History is organised in two interrelated strands - Historical Knowledge and Understanding and Historical Skills.

Geography is also taught through the Integrated Inquiry process. The Geography curriculum is organised under Knowledge and Understanding and Inquiry and Skills.

Technology is integrated across all curriculum areas.
