Bydd AC yn archwilio a dadansoddi egwyddorion y cwricwlwm gwyddoniaeth newydd gan eu galluogi i ddod yn ymarferwyr effeithiol sydd â dealltwriaeth gadarn o addysgeg yn seiliedig ar theori. Byddant yn cael cyfleoedd i fyfyrio'n feirniadol ar oblygiadau adroddiadau diweddar i safonau addysg wyddoniaeth yng Nghymru a deall pwysigrwydd ymarfer ar sail tystiolaeth mewn gwyddoniaeth.

Bydd AC yn astudio ac yn gwerthuso'n feirniadol ystod eang o addysgeg gwyddoniaeth mewn Bioleg, Cemeg a Ffiseg, gan eu galluogi i ddarparu profiadau dysgu effeithiol mewn ystod o gyd-destunau addysgol. Bydd yr AC yn cael y wybodaeth a'r sgiliau i ddatblygu gallu dysgwyr i feddwl trwy ddysgu yn seiliedig ar broblemau ac addysgu deialogaidd, ac i ddeall mater allweddol asesu dealltwriaeth dysgwyr o fodelau cysyniadol a fframweithiau eraill wrth sicrhau dilyniant effeithiol mewn dysgu.
