ASTA Teacher Resource Book – now available to download

Don’t forget to check out this year’s National Science Week teacher resource book based on the schools’ theme Seeds of Science: Nurturing knowledge for all, developed by ASTA. 

This year’s schools theme encourages students to explore how ideas take root, develop and spread – from the first spark of a question to the sharing of discoveries that benefit the wider community. 

Inside the resource book you’ll find curriculum aligned inquiry-based and project-based learning activities to investigate seeds and agriculture suitable for all year levels. The book also contains many opportunities to incorporate cross-curriculum priorities, including Sustainability and First Nations connections.
