The Nelson iScience NSW for the Australian Curriculum series has been designed in consultation with practising teachers from NSW schools. Authored by experienced teachers, this series captures the depth and scope of the NSW syllabus for the Australian Curriculum.

This series is designed for the 21st Century classroom, with the integration of Web 2.0 technology suggestions for students for investigating, analysing, summarising and presenting. Higher-order thinking skills, inquiry and student-centred learning are reinforced in every chapter through creative activities and questions that follow Bloom’s revised taxonomy. Teacher resources (sold seperately) will be available to support each year level.

Supporting activity books will be available for Years 7 and 8 (sold seperately).
