This workshop is aimed at helping Stage 6 Investigating Science teachers learn the content in the new Year 11 Investigating Science syllabus, understand the background theory and make connections across the different modules. We will be unpacking:

Cause and Effect - Observing
Cause and Effect - Inferences and Generalisations
Scientific Models
Theories and Laws
Opportunities for Depth Studies

In addition, we will connect the 'assumed knowledge' to the HSC syllabus.
