Spotlight on the 7-10 Science Syllabus
Resources for implementing the new 7-10 Science Syllabus.
STANSW is dedicated to helping teachers with the transition to the new science syllabus. Our working group has developed some initial resources to help guide you though implementation and programming.
Resource 1: Key Steps to Implementation. This is a step-by-step checklist of actions for faculty team leaders who are facilitating the writing of programs for the new Science 7-10 syllabus.
Resource 2: The Programming Template. This can be customised to suit individual school needs. View the annotated version for explanation of each section of the template, and how the template can be applied to meet NESA's advice and guidelines.
