Junior Science is a very enjoyable subject for incoming first years. Students study all three branches of Science: Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
The Biology section focuses on the main systems of the human and plants. It includes dissections of the heart, lungs and kidneys! It also looks at ecology and the importance of protecting the environment.

The Chemistry section is very much the experiment filled part of the course. It involves examining different techniques of separating substances, the treatment of water, air and oxygen, acids and bases and finally atoms and how they bond together.
The Physics section examines the world around us and looks at how we can study and explain changes in matter. It too contains lots of experiments to illustrate topics covered in class.
The CBS is well catered for with 4 fully stocked laboratories. The experiments in the course make the subject very accessible to the students as it makes any complex idea applicable to their everyday lives.

Here in the CBS we encourage discovery-based learning where the students learn by doing the experiments themselves. Throughout the three-year course as the students develop a better understanding of the subject the experiments and topics become more challenging but the experiments also become more rewarding and interesting!
Junior Science is a very important subject for students as it opens the door to Senior Biology, Senior Chemistry and Senior Physics in fifth year. These subjects in turn can give the students access to many interesting science and engineering courses in college.
