Year 10 Science Study Guide covers material from Level 5 Science in The New Zealand Curriculum across the five strands: Nature of Science, Living World, Material World, Physical World and Planet Earth and Beyond. At the beginning of each chapter there is an overview of the way in which that chapter relates to the five basic capabilities that contribute to a functional knowledge of science – understanding, investigating, communicating, participating and contributing – in terms of the Achievement Aims of the Nature of Science strand and the context of one of the other four strands (Living World, Material World, Physical World and Planet Earth and Beyond). Material within the chapters contains up-to-date information on each topic, and there are numerous illustrations and diagrams. Questions are based upon the five basic capabilities and how they relate to the context of the relevant strand – Living World, Material World, Physical World and Planet Earth and Beyond. This Study Guide is ideal for use in the classroom or for homework, home study and revision. A complementary title, Year 10 Science Learning Workbook, is available.
