Comments from the Authors:

" A resource package that uses innovative enquiry-based approaches to science teaching and learning based on current science education research findings and proven good practice."

" The learning experiences for students in the workbook are based in a context that captures their imagination; acknowledges their interests and prior knowledge, allows hands on learning experiences, encourages creativity and raises their awareness of the nature of science as a human endeavour that makes huge contributions to our culture."

" The Teacher's Guide offers support through provision of extensive, in depth background science content; a suggested teaching approach that is aligned with the NZC philoposhy on pedagogy and principles and goals for student learning; and suggested practical results and answers to questions etc in the Student Workbook."
