Science of Natural Resources, Senior Secondary 2-4 is designed to develop students' skills, knowledge, understanding and appreciation of Tasmanian natural resources. The syllabus is interdisciplinary and can be delivered through one of six themes: Agriculture, Marine/Aquaculture, Energy, Forests and Forestry, and Mining, as well as through an integrated approach combining these. There is an emphasis on students studying in their local environment where possible, through practical work, excursions and project work. Available community resources, industries and outside expertise are encouraged to complement the classroom delivery and to provide a basis for the choice of themes.

In Science of Natural Resources Senior Secondary 5C, students will develop knowledge and understanding of the management and research that allows the sustainable use of Tasmanian resources. This will be acquired through the study of sustainable resource management that integrates three or more following contexts: Agriculture, Marine/ Aquaculture, Energy, Forestry and Mining. The analysis of resource management in a balanced and scientific manner using critical thinking skills is an integral aspect of this syllabus.
