Answer 1

The purpose of learning natural science is to do the following: develop scientific knowledge and understanding; develop science process skills; and develop an understanding of the roles of science in society. There are three broad subject-specific aims in natural sciences that relate to the purposes of learning science: doing sciences; knowing the subject content and making connections; and understanding the uses of science.

The teaching and learning of natural sciences involves the development of a range of process skills that may be used in everyday life, in the community and in the workplace. For instance, accessing and recalling information. Using a variety of sources to acquire information, and to remember relevant facts and key ideas and build a conceptual framework.
