Author Description

An intuitive, self-paced approach to science education, which ensures every student has opportunities to practise, apply and extend their learning through a range of supportive and challenging activities. Pearson Science Second Edition has been updated to fully address all strands of the new Australian Curriculum: Science, which has been adopted throughout the nation. This edition also captures the coverage of Science curricula in states such as Victoria, which have tailored the Australian Curriculum slightly for their students. This text features a more explicit coverage of the curriculum. The activities enable flexibility in the approach to teaching and learning. There are opportunities for extension as well as reinforcement of key concepts and knowledge. Students are also guided in self-reflection at the end of each topic. This Activity Book also provides richer application opportunities to take the Student Book content further with explicit coverage of Inquiry Skills, Science as a Human Endeavour and Science Understanding. The diverse offering of worksheets allows students to be challenged at their level. Students have the flexibility to be self-paced and this new edition comes with the advantage of each worksheet being self-contained.
