Topics in Year 7–8 Science
Choose a topic below for key notes, formulas, practice questions and common mistakes.
Topic 1
The Living World
The living world strand covers the basic biology students need for Year 9–10 science and eventually VCE Biology. Understanding cells, classification and ecosystems — and the precise vocabulary for each — provides the scaffold for more complex biological content later.
- 10 key points
- 4 practice questions
Topic 2
The Physical World
The physical world strand covers forces, motion and energy — concepts that form the basis of Year 9–10 Physics and ultimately VCE Physics. Understanding balanced and unbalanced forces, calculating speed and recognising energy types are the key skills at this level.
- 9 key points
- 4 practice questions
Topic 3
The Chemical World
The chemical world covers the building blocks of matter — elements, compounds and mixtures — and the difference between physical and chemical changes. These concepts underpin VCE Chemistry and should be understood clearly before moving into more complex Year 9–10 chemistry.
