Materials Production (LMP), a unit of the NSW Department of Education
and Training that develops materials for delivery to distance education students.
The site has recommended module-specific links.
- The Senior Science section of the UniServe Science.
- UniServe
Science , a site maintained by Sydney University, seeks to enhance the
quality of university and school science teaching by maintaining and disseminating
information on up-to-date and innovative materials for use throughout Australia.
The site also publishes reviews, criticism and ideas related to teaching and
learning materials for science. It is a great starting point if you or your
students are seeking information on syllabus content. The site has recommended
module-specific links.
- The site of the Key Centre for Polymer Colloids .
Researchers at the centre have prepared a number of meta-trails that give information that is relevant to the NSW HSC Senior Science and Chemistry syllabuses and how polymer chemistry is involved in our everyday lives.
- An index of commonly used terms
This site provides definitions of many medical and scientific terms .
