From the beginning to the end. From the creation of the Universe, stars and planets, until the very end of time, when time may no longer have any real meaning, EVERYTHING is ultimately about energy and entropy.

LEVEL 1 - An understanding of heat is fundamental to energy transfers around the Earth, so that's where we will start: what is it; how does it move; how can it be generated or lost; how can those concepts be applied to everyday life. L1 students will also have the opportunity to conduct investigations into the effects of raising global temperatures on ocean levels, leading to an internal NCEA assessment.
