2018 Learning Resource Catalogue Science and Discovery

Science is the central focus of the STEM concept.

Biology provides children with the opportunity to explore their bodies and the processes involved with health and wellbeing. Environmental sciences explore sustainability and the world around us, a concept that essentially requires resource inclusion for extensive exploration and understanding. Our resources will help you explore physics with gears, chemistry through creation, sustainability through seedlings and biology through beast specimens.
