Connecting with Science Education – Second Edition

Connect with science and learn how to teach it creatively.

Connecting with Science Education – Second Edition supports pre-service teachers as they enter the professional world by connecting theory to practice. It meets the requirements of the Australian Curriculum while incorporating STEM and Indigenous science knowledge; and has a balanced coverage of biological, physical and chemical sciences, with some mathematics.
