The ACHIEVE! series of science titles has been developed for teachers who require modified, curriculum-focused activities for secondary school students. It is aimed at students who, because of poor literacy skills, struggle to read and comprehend regular classroom materials.

Each book is divided into units that focus on a key topic and contain four to five photocopiable activity work sheets. The units could be taught as a lesson with students in groups of varying sizes. Alternatively, one or more activity sheets can be used as support material, or for individual homework, assessment or revision.

About:The game analysis resource contains an interactive, computer-based tracking tool. The tool allows teachers and students to track player’s movement patterns including distance and speed. It is also used to identify the number and field location of game events including core skills and to record the duration of specific activities. From this data, statistics on speed can be obtained. Through collecting, organising, presenting and analysing the data, students can make objective suggestions for improvements in physical fitness, skills and tactics.

Experimenting with Science



Problem Solving in Science will enable your students to become critical thinkers and independent, creative problem solvers by stimulating their thinking beyond factual recall and procedure. The series engages students in higher order thinking which involves the application, synthesis and evaluation of knowledge and skills within a scientific context.

Each section begins with a ‘Curiosity Trap’ that will focus your students’ attention and arouse their curiosity before they know what you have planned. This is followed by the ‘Give Us A Clue’ section, a hands-on activity to flesh out the basic scientific notion presented by the ‘Curiosity Trap’.

The ‘Challenge’ provides the vehicle to apply this notion to an unknown situation. Content, questions and answers are provided for each section, plus boxes of information and hints in the form of ‘So What`s Going On?’ and ‘Figure It Out!’ are included to consolidate an understanding of the science presented in each section.

BOOK 1 topics:Newton’s 1st, 2nd and 3rd Laws• Bernoulli Principle• Circuits and electricity• Hot and cold; heat transfer/ insulators/ Kinetic • Theory of MatterArchimedes’ Principle• The atmosphere and air pressure• Structures and their properties• Momentum and collisions• Plastics - their properties and recycling•

BOOK 2 topics:Seperating substances• Grouping substances and the Periodic Table• Hydraulics, machines and liquid pressure• Energy transfers and chain reactions• Surface tension• Air resistance and parachutes• Rockets, jet engines and explosions• Forensic science, scientific method • and forgeryMass, volume, density and particle packaging•

Crosswords about Earth, space, the living and physical world, science skills, careers and concepts.

BOOK 1: Junior level topics:Rocks and minerals• Vertebrates• Plant structure• Respiration and excretion• Feral animals• Light and sound• Processes in experiments• Renowned scientists•

BOOK 2: Middle level topics:Ancient life and geologic time• Australian mega fauna• Hormones• Animal adaptations• Forensic science• Organic chemistry• Waves and their uses• Experimental design•

This series offers crosswords that have been thoroughly trailed in classrooms, with positive feedback from students who find the crosswords great for revision and fun to do. Teachers have found the crosswords to be excellent springboards for promoting the discussion of science concepts and issues, and for introducing or revising core curriculum.
