Comments
- need online booking like "science in the city"
-
A hyperlink to these would be useful!!
"There are three activity booklets based on Stage 3 Science and Technology and HSiE topics. The activity booklets are:
1.Environment Matters 2.An Ancient Land 3.This recording booklet will help you... - Examples of remnant bushland in city environments needs to be mentioned here
-
We need more of these picture based pages for primary students
A d-key for identification of insects is also needed - Great to have a lot of pics on this page
-
Can this be web based instead of pdfed?
If the d-key can be hyperlinked it will be more user friendly.
This method encourages a hard copy of the document. -
A VERY LOOOOOONG page
Expected the green sub headings to be hyperlinks to the topics - Lovely pic but could you please add scale to help model this technique for students.
