What this field covers.

Scientific thinking

A useful investigation begins with a question that can be tested. Controlled comparisons and repeatable measurements help evaluate an explanation.

Physics & measurement

Motion, forces, energy and electricity connect everyday experiences to engineering. Measurements make relationships easier to compare.

Materials & chemistry

Structure and composition influence behaviour. Strength, conductivity, corrosion and heat resistance affect design choices.

Bring the ideas into focus.
