The Issue of the Week – Teaching and Learning Resource

Enhance science capabilities and build curiosity.
‘The Issue of the Week’ will make you wonder how you used to engage your students.

The Issue of the Week is a current and topical Science teaching and learning resource. With a focus on socio-scientific issues we engage and enthuse students. Through discussion, reading, video clips and writing, we build science capabilities alongside literacy skills. We are passionate about nurturing interest in issues that matter. Providing opportunities for young people to work with complex situations, enables them to identify what is important in their own lives and the world around them.
