This series of lessons combines the investigative aspects of the science programme of study with knowledge and understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum.

It develops the idea that science cannot always provide conclusive answers to questions. Students use the available evidence to draw conclusions, taking into account this lack of certainty.

Both the media and the use of law contribute to the Citizenship programme.
