This downloadable PDF resource is part of a two-part series that provides teachers with innovative lessons across a variety of general Science topics studied from Year 9 to Year 12. The topics in this PDF are grouped into four main sections: Polluted Australia, Australia’s Environment, Radiation & Safety, and Everyday Chemistry.

Scientific knowledge is tested through a range of activities, and research skills are also developed with an Internet research project and group discussion concluding each topic. Sample answers have been provided where appropriate, to make marking of student work easy and time-efficient.

Use the Instant Lessons to supplement your existing resources, to extend student capabilities, for revision purposes, or for class work when the regular teacher is absent.
