Australian Science Teachers Association (ASTA)

The Australian Science Teachers Association are a foundation partner of National Science Week, which was established in 1997 as an extension of ASTA's long-running Science Week in Schools initiative.

Each year, ASTA produces a teacher resource book to help support and assist teachers in providing engaging science activities for their students. The book is based, each year, on the National Science Week school theme chosen for that year and is always packed with information, classroom activities, experiments, diagrams, photographs and websites.
