Science

Science is the study of the world around us, how it functions and how it might change in the future. It's a lot more than a collection of facts and figures; it is a process for learning about the natural world, the study of elements of the Earth and beyond into the observable universe.

We can all have ideas about how the world might work or why something might happen, but science allows us to make predictions, design experiments and test those ideas. From the motion of particles too tiny to see to the life and death of giant stars in distant galaxies, the science department's goal is to start you on a pathway of discovery about the universe that will last a lifetime. 

The achievement of your science qualifications at GCSE whether that be following the combined science award or the three individual sciences of biology, chemistry and physics, will open doors for you throughout your life. As a student of science, we will not only increase your knowledge and curiosity of science... we will make you into a scientist!  

Science at Ashington Academy is great fun. Through the year I have learnt so much that is interesting and will be of benefit in my future.

Science at Ashington Academy is fun and hands-on but it also teaches us how things work and gives us knowledge that can help us pursue our goals.
