Science 7-10 Resources

Welcome to the Science 7-10 Resources support page.

Science years 7-10 syllabus support

After the release of the Science years 7-10 syllabus in November 2003 a series of workshops supporting teachers with the introduction of the new syllabus in their classrooms were conducted across all regions. The activities and hands on nature of these activities dealing particularly with assessment and ICT in classrooms means there ongoing value to teachers as a professional learning resource requires the content of the workshops be available ongoing. To access the content of the workshops 

Quality science

 

The Quality Science CD-ROM was distributed to schools in 2003 and is available online within the NSW AGQTP web site. Quality Science had the aim to improve the quality of teaching and learning in science from Years 7-12. The DET intranet version of Quality Science has additional material to the Quality Science CD-ROM and is available to DET staff via the DET Intranet. This vesion contains portfolios and other resources developed by project schools for the DET Years 7-10 Implementation workshops for 2004-05. 

Solar in schools

The program supports schools to participate in a solar energy trial. Schools accepted to the program are provided with a photovoltaic (PV) array, generally located on the roofs of existing buildings. This provides a valuable resource to raise awareness of green energy technologies and reduce overall electricity usage. Students can access the PV array, monitoring equipment and  a wide range educational support resources.

Nuclear science in society

This resource has 12 topics in four themes exploring aspects of nuclear science and technology. It has been produced by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) to help students interpret the information they encounter. Themes are: About radioactivity, Life in the nuclear age, Using radiation, and Choosing nuclear futures.

Resources developed as part of the Science and Minerals School Clusters project                            

Teachers from cluster schools in Orange and Wollongong, using the human resources of the minerals industry, developed this suite of resources for teacher and student use to assist with the implementation of the Science Years 7-10 and Stage 6 Earth and Environmental/Senior Science syllabuses.
