Key Features

• The workbooks have been written by Tina Youngman from Paeroa College. Tina is a National and local award winning teacher because of her dedication and commitment to education and innovative ideas in the classroom. Check out our blog on Tina here.
• We have developed 16 individual mini-workbooks to cover Levels 3, 4 and 5 of the NZ Curriculum for Years 9 and 10 (can also be used from Year 8-11).
• You can choose from the range of workbooks and use them in any desired order – the advantage is that you are not locked into macro workbooks where your teaching order is predetermined.
• Student workbooks have been printed in full colour and range in size from 40 to 56 pages.
• Every workbook has an accompanying Teacher’s Guide also printed in full colour.  They range in size from 56 to 80 pages. Every Teacher’s Guide is prefixed with generic information regarding the ‘Nature of Science’ strand of the NZ Science Curriculum and includes Tina’s Teaching Philosophy.  At the back of each Teacher’s Guide there are Teacher Notes and a copy of the free downloadable Resource with answers. The free downloadable Resources range in size from 4 to 22 pages and can be downloaded once you have purchased your class sets with Teacher’s Guides.
• The workbooks have been designed as a teaching tool to supplement and complement the teaching and learning that already takes place in the classroom.  It is not designed to be used as a stand alone resource.  The author suggests that the activities in the workbook be prefixed by a ‘teaching moment’.
• Each workbook provides:
  • Specific Learning Outcomes for students
  • definitions of key terms used in the science topic
  • background information
  • literacy and numeracy tasks
  • a range of practical activities
  • student inquiry using IQFIRE – Idea, Question, Find, Interpret, Report, Evaluate
• It is important for teachers to recognise that it is not necessary to cover everything presented in each workbook.
• The workbooks could also be used in Year 11 for students to revisit key information before tackling NCEA Level 1 or for introducing science topics at Year 8.
