• Lab Safety and Safe Experiments – Dress for safety (goggles, coat, closed shoes, hair tied). Read labels and hazard pictograms. Heat gently with the mouth of the tube pointing away. Add acid to water, waft smells, never taste. Report every accident at once. Plan experiments step by step, assess the risks first and dispose of waste correctly.
• The Scientific Method – The scientific method is the careful way scientists find out how the world works. Observe something, ask a testable question, make a hypothesis (a clear, testable guess), test it with a fair experiment (change one variable, measure one, keep the rest the same), repeat and record data, analyse it, draw a conclusion and share it so others can check. Results that fail the test are useful too: they send you back to a new hypothesis.

3. Informatics

Information Science

• Computer Science: How Computers Solve Problems – Computer science (also called informatics) is the study of solving problems with computers. Every program takes input, processes it and gives output. Computers store all data as bits (0 and 1); 8 bits make a byte, and binary place values double: 1, 2, 4, 8 … 128. An algorithm is a finite list of clear steps; a program is an algorithm written in a programming language using sequence, selection and repetition. Data structures (list, stack, queue, tree, graph) organise data so programs work fast. Networks and telecommunication join computers: messages travel as packets through routers over wires, fibre and radio, following protocols. Emerging technologies like AI, IoT, cloud and robotics bring big benefits and new questions about privacy, fairness, jobs and safety.
