Introducing Pearson Science, the most comprehensive and accessible science series for Years 7-10 and written specifically for the Australian Curriculum.

Leading science educators from across Australia have written and reviewed this series to make it the best science resource for teaching the Australian Curriculum. Over the last two years we’ve consulted with practising science teachers throughout Australia to find out what teachers really want in a science series. The result is a combination of printed and digital products which allow teachers to develop a rich, interactive learning environment in order to provide an education with a complete and integrated coverage of the three strands: Science Inquiry Skills, Science as a Human Endeavour and Science Understanding. Written with the aid of a full set of writing and literacy guidelines developed for this series, the text is clear and easy to understand. We’ve had literacy experts carefully consider the layout of the text and the selection and placement of images to enhance learning. So everything on the page has been designed to make Pearson Science the most accessible science series available.
