Why hands-on Science is important and a great learning opportunity ...

  • School science earns an F. Research by local scientist and Microsoft Innovative Teacher Michael Fenton indicates that the state of New Zealand's science teaching is antiquated and inadequate. What are some examples of 'best practice' when using computers in education, particularly to teach science?
  • Saving New Zeland Science. Why are scientists meeting to discuss flaws in NZQA science exams? Is it a case of dumbing the curriculum down or scientists being ' too academic' and expecting too much? How does NZQA pressure resource writers to perpetuate errors of fact in books and hence examinations?
  • Teaching and the f word: From the New Zealand INTERFACE article....putting the fun back into teaching while dealing with the competing tensions of assessment and covering the curriculum. For primary and secondary teachers.
