Education

Knowing that there is a need for a resource site for Science teachers that provides knowledge content to enable them to teach and answer questions arising in their classrooms on the wide field of freshwater ecology with accurate, clear and relevant scientific information, this part of our website is intended to provide expert support and quality material and resources for New Zealand Science teachers.

We are planning to create a resource that stands apart from existing material available on the web in that it specifically focuses on freshwater ecology, New Zealand examples and the New Zealand senior school curriculum. Biozone International provides a classroom-ready resource books that support the Year 12 and 13 Biology syllabus.

Recognising that teachers are very busy and consistently adapt material for use with their classes this site will provide "bite sized" information for integration into a planned unit. One of the key features of this site is the search function. A Frequently Asked Questions area will be built up over time with teachers using an email form provided to send in their questions.

Our intention is that annually the content will be reviewed in light of the senior secondary school science curriculum and assessment and events in the scientific community so that the site remains accurate and relevant.
