SCIENCE
S1 / S2 SCIENCE
The frequency of homework should be weekly, but there may be occasions when teachers feel
the need to “end load” homework to help revise for up coming end of topic tests.
Homework will mainly be selected from topic specific homework booklets, but teachers may set
alternative research based homework as they see fit.
Generally homework tasks should take 15 – 20 minutes to complete.
In S2 the first 3 topics are taught in a rotational basis, so the order of topics may change
depending on the teacher.
