K-6 Science and Technology Review and Development
Considerable progress was made in reviewing the NSW Science and Technology K-6 Syllabus when the Board decided to suspend further work on this review in light of the development of a national curriculum in Science K-12.
Therefore the Board felt what had been learnt from the NSW developments would be helpful to assist in the consultation processes around the national curriculum in Science K-12. The Board has provided its draft Science and Technology materials to the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) to support national curriculum developments.
To further support NSW teachers, four science units have been developed which address the current NSW syllabus outcomes but which are also clearly connected to the context of the national Science curriculum. These will be available shortly on the Board's website.
