• understanding scientific theories, concepts and principles through a mix of theoretical study and lab experiments
• critically analysing phenomenons, reflecting on scientific methodology, finding the best strategy for scientific inquiry
• identifying the characteristics of various (natural-historic, symbolic, mathematic, logic, formal, artificial) languages and their contribution to science
• understanding the role of technology as a point of contact between science and everyday life
• using IT tools for analysing data and modelling scientific problems, identifying the role of computer science in scientific development
• applying scientific methods to various situations.
