Group 4
Five subjects: biology, chemistry, physics, environmental systems, and design technology that are part of group 4 have common aims and objectives. They all provide students with the opportunities to conduct scientific exploration in the field of their interests and at the same time stimulate and challenge them. It can be achieved by well developed and structured subject curriculum, appropriate scientific methods and techniques which students are required to study, learn and apply. Thus students develop an ability to analyse, evaluate and synthesize scientific information in parallel with their awareness of the need for, and the value of, effective collaboration during scientific activities. All five syllabuses highlight the moral, ethical, social and environmental implications of using science and technology pointing at the same time to their limitations. A compulsory group 4 project encourage students’ understanding of the relationships between scientific disciplines and the need for collaborative work due to the fact that it puts more emphasis on the process involved in investigation rather then the products of the investigation themselves.

- Physics is the most fundamental of the experimental sciences, as it seeks to explain the universe itself, from the very smallest particles – quarks (perhaps 10⁻¹⁷ m in size), which may be truly fundamental – to the vast distances between galaxies (10²⁴ m).
