The Science Continuum, F-10, is an integrated set of more than 50 science ‘focus ideas’ organized as a web based curriculum resource. It was progressively developed over 3 years by extensive collaboration between members of the Monash Science Education Group and project representatives from the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD). A significant innovation is the common format developed for each idea and the explicit and extensive research base. Its fundamental emphasis is to support teachers in their development of leaner/learning centred teaching approaches.
