to create connections and to become scientifically literate citizens.
TEACHER TESTIMONIALS
“I am really happy with the resources for Good Science 5. I have been able to use the programs without any significant modifications. It also involves some explicit teaching strategies which is helpful for us as this is a focus for our school at the moment. I find that the worksheets are pitched really well for my students. The program involves a range of activities that we can pick and choose from. I will be using the MC quizzes regularly once I have my class all signed up- which should be very soon. The Good Science books and materials have helped our school to make a very smooth transition to teaching the new syllabus.”
– Susan Edwards, Head Teacher Science, Nowra Christian School.
"The books look fab! –They're really wonderful books!”
– Cheryl Bawhey, Laboratory Technician, Penrith Christian School.
"We used the GS Program as a guide, which saved a lot of time as not only are the suggested activities engaging, but also aligned to the text."
– Elizabeth Cranfield, Head of Science, Loreto Normanhurst.
"The resources are wonderful, they save us time, by giving teachers resources that can allow them to develop quality learning experiences."
– Scott Parrey, Maitland High School.
"We have already started planning with and unpacking the new syllabus programs, they are fantastic!"
–Teacher: Thomas Hassall Anglican College
