The 精东视频鈥檚 science education program for primary schools, PrimaryConnections, is releasing 10 new units this week, fully aligned to the national science curriculum.
Each of these eagerly awaited units has undergone a rigorous process, designed by education professionals and reviewed by at least three Fellows of the Academy, and is supported by teacher background information for each lesson to help explain the science to the teacher.
鈥淭he Academy is proud to have developed, in partnership with the Australian Government, the award-winning PrimaryConnections program,鈥� said Professor Jenny Graves, the Academy鈥檚 Secretary for Education and Public Awareness.
鈥淭he Academy recognises that improving the quality of science and maths education is critical for the future prosperity of Australia.
鈥淲e have long been concerned about the decline in Australia鈥檚 international performance in science education, and believe it can be reversed with the right programs.
鈥淲e know that PrimaryConnections really works.
鈥淲e are keen to support schools and teachers to improve science teaching, and student learning and the enjoyment of science. The new PrimaryConnections units will do just that,鈥� said Professor Graves.
Used in more than half of all Australian primary schools, PrimaryConnections combines teacher training with curriculum resources to engage students in hands-on, inquiry-based learning that links science with literacy.
The new units will provide exciting new material for all years of primary education, including Schoolyard Safari for year 1, Waterworks for year 2, Plants in Action for year 4, Desert Survivors in year 5 and Marvellous Micro-Organisms in year 6.
鈥淭hese terrific new units will build on the 17 existing PrimaryConnections units to support teachers and help them take children on a fun and interactive learning journey,鈥� Professor Graves said.
鈥淭hey鈥檒l not only learn about the world they live in, but also improve their critical thinking skills and their ability to write and talk about the things they see.鈥�
PrimaryConnections units are warehoused and distributed by Abacus Educational Suppliers.
