Further Resources for Schools 

Each year a National Science Week theme for schools is chosen to assist teachers focus and plan ways to engage students in National Science Week celebrations.

The schools theme for 2010 is Australian Biodiversity.

ASTA is currently preparing the teacher resource book of the same title that will be distributed to schools in May 2010. This book will look at Australia's unique biodiversity with examples from the micro world, invertebrates, vertebrates and plants as well as case studies from various terrestrial, aquatic, urban and agricultural ecosystems. Also highlighted will be conservation issues, biodiversity hotspots, threats to biodiversity, introduced species and the role of quarantine. ASTA welcomes the involvement of partners in the Schools kit. Information on the 2009 teacher resource book 'Astronomy: Science Without Limits' is provided below.

Application forms for 2010 National Science Week school grants will be available in late February/early March on the ASTA website.   2009 school grant recipients are listed here.

 

 


The 2009 National Science Week Schools Kit

Each year ASTA produces the National Science Week Schools Kit, which is sent FREE to every school (pre-school, primary, secondary and TAFEs that provide senior secondary science courses) in Australia. The 2009 Kit was addressed to the ‘Preschool Director’, the ‘Science Coordinator’ in primary schools; the ‘Head of Science Department’ in secondary schools; and the ‘Head Teacher - Science’ in TAFEs.  The kit was be distributed in early May 2009. Keep an eye out for it!

2009 ASTA National Science Week Teacher Resource Book – Astronomy: Science Without Limits

Image of Teacher Resource Book cover

For National Science Week each year, ASTA produces a teacher resource book to encourage teachers to conduct science activities within their school during National Science Week. The title of the 2009 teachers resource book is Astronomy: Science Without Limits. It has been designed to provide teachers with ideas and activities to enhance the knowledge and understanding of the science of Astronomy.

The book is packed with facts, classroom activities, experiments, photographs, diagrams and websites that explore the science of Astronomy. Because the study of Astronomy pre-dates written human history, the book has been structured to provide opportunities for students to develop an understanding of the history of ideas about the celestial sphere and follow the changing nature of the science of Astronomy and its related technology.

The book has been divided into chapters broadly based on:

  1. Astronomy through the Ages – this section provides insights into Astronomy in the past and some of the observations made by ancient peoples.
  2. The Electromagnetic Spectrum and the ever-increasing range of technologies astronomers can use to search the Universe.
  3. An overview of the phenomena of the Universe.
  4. Astronomy now and in the future.

Each chapter includes the following features:

  •  an introductory page which provides background information on the subject of the chapter,
  • a series of double-page spreads, each of which can be used independently of other pages,

Each double-page spread consists of:

  1. A single page of information about the header topic. This single page contains the relevant background science knowledge and understandings.
  2. A page of teaching activities across four groups:
  • lower primary
  • primary
  •  middle school
  • senior secondary

Not all groups are catered for in every set of teaching activities. Teachers are encouraged to read across all the activities for ideas that might be appropriate for their students’ specific talents, interests and levels of conceptual development. 

A copy of Astronomy: Science Without Limits will be sent free to every Australian school—including all preschools, primary schools, secondary schools and certain TAFEs—as part of the National Science Week Schools Kit, and free to ASTA members. Additional copies can be purchased from ASTA. See www.asta.edu.au for an order form.
