✦ Synopsis

Pearson Science, 2nd Edition offers complete coverage of all Content Descriptors and all Elaborations of the Australian Curriculum: Science and Victorian Curriculum: Science. We’ve also enhanced the series with improved differentiation throughout as well as the integration of STEM and student designed investigation.

Literacy Consultant, Dr. Trish Weekes has completed a thorough literacy review to ensure that learners are even more supported in this edition with increased scaffolding, clearer explanation of key terms and improved navigation pathways. This approach in the student book is reinforced through new, research-based literacy building activities and teacher support.
