Science

Science is a very dynamic subject which is constantly changing as the world around us evolves. Science covers three main disciplines:

  • Biology - the study of the living world
  • Chemistry - the study of matter and the behaviour of different materials
  • Physics - the study of properties of matter and energy

The Science Department at Arden has eleven laboratories and fifteen Science teachers who are specialists in one or more of the above areas. All teachers deliver all Sciences until Year 11 and then focus on their specialist area with Sixth Form students.

The following link will take you to the Arden Science Home Page for all teaching and learning resources for KS3, KS4 and KS5. The site is hosted by Google Suite for Education, hence you will need to use a pupil school email and password to access this area.
