Could Lab. Techs. please answer my call for the names of text books used in Science. They would be for middle year program at international schools.
Thank you

We may all be on different syllabus's, I really do not think each state, is on the same level.

So I do not think NSW can help you.

Hi Maree
I am in Qld - we use Jacaranda Science 8, 9, 10. at our school. But soon to buy new texts - not sure on specifics for the new ones yet. Still deciding.

hi Maree,
we use Science Quest 1 for yr 7, Science Quest 2 for yr 8 and Science Alive 6 for yrs 9 & 10. Before that we used The World of Science 1-3 for yrs 7-9.

We use the following for years 8 - 10 (7's are still in primary school over here in the west)
Science Quest 1 & 2
Fundamentals of Science 1-4
Science World 1 & 2
Science Alive

Science World 1 & 2 are very popular with our new, younger teachers, while the more mature prefer fundamentals of Science and Science Quest.

Hope this helps

Hi Maree,
We use Longman 1,2,3,4 for years 7-10. Also have copies of Science Now 1,2,3,4 (still used occasionally).
Among the Staffroom resources we have Heinemann Interactive Science 1,2,3,4; also Core Science 1,2,3,4; Science Focus 1,2,3,4; and Excel Study Guide Year 7-8; and Year 9-10. Plus of course, my teachers keep every Science text book since they were all at school - naturally we still have the old Messell books which I used back in the late '60's when I was in high school.
