Throughout the district, however, I am consistently asked to recommend  resources. I would like to encourage you to 'share' resources that you have used to support your Science and Technology teaching. Please email details of the resource to me - helen.lansdown@det.nsw.edu.au and I will add them to a list of recommended resources.

Science and Technology K-6 Syllabus Teaching Kit.

 The kit includes 23 booklets in three folders.  The kit supports the units of work provided as examples in the Science and Technology K-6 Syllabus and Support Document.

Teachers must be aware that the outcomes used in the teaching kits are no longer relevant and that content has changed in some stages. However the tasks can be used or adapted to teach the current outcomes.

 Individual teaching kits can be bought from the Board Of Studies Client Services for $11.25 each plus postage.
