Good Science has been crafted to reflect the new 7–10 Science syllabus for New South Wales with an emphasis on helping students to forge deep understandings, to create connections and to become scientifically literate citizens. It seeks to equip students with the essential knowledge and skills to observe, question, investigate, and analyse, and to tackle familiar and novel problems. It explores the deeply human and cultural dimensions of science and supports students to engage with science-related issues. Students are empowered to develop new capabilities, while teachers can measure progress and set tasks appropriate for each student.
Working scientifically processes, literacy and numeracy are comprehensively supported in the Science How-to section, which provides models and exemplars for students to refer to. Processes, literacy and numeracy are explicitly modelled and cross-referenced, providing students with a ready-reference toolkit.
Using Spelling Mastery, teachers can efficiently and effectively deliver straightforward lessons that help their students learn dependable spelling skills. Students are taught in small steps, using sufficient practice, so that they comprehend how spelling works and can become proficient writers. In just 15-20 minutes a day, you can teach your students the strategies they need to become successful, lifelong spellers
This new edition of the leading VCE Mathematics series combines authoritative coverage of the new Study Design with a proven teaching and learning formula and innovative digital resources to support ALL students to achieve VCE success.
Our highly respected author team now draws on the expertise of additional experienced educators who bring their own classroom experience to interpret the new Study Design and provide logical topic development and rigorous questions that most effectively build student skills.
Enhanced digital features including an Exam Generator, student workspaces and self-assessment tools, videos for all worked examples, auto-marked quizzes, Desmos interactives, and a range of downloadable activities, will give students the best assessment preparation available.
Introducing our diagnostic assessment tool: developed in consultation with classroom teachers, this powerful new tool offers the flexibility to build your tests from one or more textbook lesson or the curriculum content descriptor, with the option to drill down to mathematical skill level. Identify and address gaps in student knowledge with intuitive reports and follow-up work that provide teachers with valuable insights into student performance and growth.
Engaging new technology and computational thinking activities in every chapter meet the requirements of the Victorian Curriculum and give students the practical skills needed to use technology they will encounter in the workplace and in life, such as spreadsheets and calculators.
Algorithmic thinking is introduced at every year level in an accessible, highly teachable activity-based chapter.
New projectable and editable lesson summaries, designed for classroom presentation, help focus student’ attention and initiate classroom discussion.
New targeted skillsheets focus on a single skill or set of related skills and are supported by worked examples. Available for download in the Interactive Textbook, they can be assigned as homework or used as classwork.
Investigations, co-created with ATSIMA (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mathematics Alliance), support the authentic teaching and learning of the elaborations related to First Nations peopl’s perspectives in the Victorian Curriculum.
New modelling activities, offer opportunities for students to apply and consolidate their learning.

The new curriculum is delivered through inspiring content, clear and highly visual text design, improved readability and simplified language to engage all students
Science as a Human Endeavour elaborations are signposted in the curriculum box at the start of chapters, and updated Science as a Human Endeavour boxes throughout help students connect the content with the real-world to fully appreciate the value of learning (and loving) science.
Sustainability content has been added across all year levels, including Explore! activities in each chapter that consider the sustainability aspect of key concepts.
The skills chapter in each year level now explores the importance of ethics in science and the real world, with content chapters exploring ethical considerations through explicit material such as organ donation and genetic testing.
Refined hands-on activities in every chapter offer both short laboratory activities and longer investigations that develop students’ inquiry skills. Many of these practical activities include a research component that meets the requirements of the Science Inquiry strand and can also be used as extension material. All practicals have been completely revised and enhanced by a lab technician to ensure scientific accuracy and easy application for students across all year levels.
Narrated practical videos walk students through experiment set-up and execution, and can be used by remote or absent students, or to familiarise themselves with the techniques and processes before attempting the practical in class. Videos are indicated by an icon in the print book.
Learning goals at the start of each section outline what students can expect to learn and are linked to an end-of-chapter checklist that helps students keep track of their progress and revise chapter content.
Comprehensive teacher notes and a curated internet resource list for each chapter supports teachers in finding reliable information relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples knowledge and practices.
NEW editable PowerPoint chapter summaries support teachers to deliver the new curriculum and summarise the focus area dot points for each chapter.
Even more assessment opportunities to support and measure student growth include NEW adaptive pre-tests and post-tests for every chapter and graded multiple-choice questions in both online and downloadable chapter tests to support varying student ability.
