This workshop is designed for teachers new to teaching HSC Science Extension plus those who would like to refamiliarise themselves with the content, background theory and make connections across the different modules of the HSC Science Extension syllabus. We will be unpacking:

The Foundations of Scientific Thinking
The Scientific Research Proposal
The Data, Evidence and Decisions

Opportunities for Depth Studies

This workshop can contribute to 5 hours of ‘Elective PD’ addressing 2.1.1 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.
