Comprehensive teachers notes accompany each student activity. Concepts, knowledge and skills share an equal emphasis in each unit, along with developing positive attitudes to science featuring:
each teacher resource book covers the four major areas of science – plants, animals, matter and energy
can be used as a basis for the year’s work or to supplement and enrich an existing program
the activities are self-explanatory, but teacher input and group discussion are encouraged
activities include experiments, observation exercises, concept reinforcement exercises, research topics, enrichment activities and assessment exercises
