Science by doing

This online resource helps develop skills for science investigations.

The resource is a general unit of work suitable for all years of high school that can be used to help students develop the skills necessary to complete their own open-ended science investigations.

These skills are directly related to the Science Inquiry Skills found in the Australian Curriculum: Science and supports the CSIRO CREativity in Science and Technology (CREST) program.

A unit of work about the differences between day and night.

It contains modules of work for younger students around the themes of the environment, astronomy, forensic science, cleanliness and solar energy and how they relate to the day–night cycle.
