Mathematical concepts are all around us — in nature, architecture, art, biology, computer science and in our everyday lives. Did you know that natural processes, such as how bees swarm, have been used as a model for computer algorithms, or that boomerangs work using similar aerodynamic concepts as aircraft?
School officials often examine teaching science from the perspective of the academic performance of K-12 children and the performance of the teacher. But rarely do we see teacher preparation programs examined under the same scrutinization. Finishing First in Science Education takes an inside view of these programs by transforming actual events ......

Extreme weather events, from bushfires to floods, and sudden geological changes, like earthquakes and tsunamis, have an enormous impact on our planet. In this book, students investigate different examples of extreme weather, focusing on examples from around Australia, and how these events affect living and non-living aspects of the environment.
Sustainability education has typically centered the human-focusing on the changes and paradigm shifts needed to ensure a sustainable future for humans. Yet nonhuman beings, specifically plants and animals, are and have always been central to our lives, prompting wonder, curiosity, sensitivity and awe, as well as being important in their own right. ......
In this book, students investigate the different types of adaptations that animals might have to help them survive and thrive in their particular environment, and then explore a range of key Australian habitats, from deserts to rainforests.
