SLH – Useful content for physics teachers
www.sciencelearn.org.nz(also see www.biotechlearn.org.nz)
Over 100 NZ scientists and 50 organisations featured on SLH so far Links to “Nature of Science” Involves all New Zealand Universities, CRIs and many independent research
companies Intended to engage NZ students Free articles, videos and teaching ideas Funded by the New Zealand government National project of collaboration managed by the University of Waikato
Recent SLH developments:
Improved instant video playback (mp4) and ease of download Improved advanced search function Apps
Resources are primarily developed for teachers of years 5 to 10, but many are very useful for senior physics.
Overview
Of the 27 contexts, 15 have a physics connection through a key term.
Of the 15 science stories, 5 have a physics connection.
