ScienceWorld for NSW 7 to 10:
Textbook to Workbook to correlation
The workbooks for ScienceWorld for NSW are closely linked to the textbooks. As students complete each
section in the textbook, there are exercises for them to complete in the workbooks. These exercises are
designed to:
• help students to get the most out of the textbook
• further develop and consolidate their knowledge, understanding and skills
• develop their literacy and numeracy skills.
Each chapter of the workbooks has four sections:
• Overview—a diagram of the way the ideas in the chapter are connected
• What do you know already?—to check what students already know about what is in the chapter
• During reading—exercises to help students understand the material in the textbook, think about the
information, relate it to their own experiences and write about it in their own words
• Chapter roundup—to check students’ understanding of the main ideas in the chapter
In the Year 10 workbook, Overview and What do you know already? are replaced by Problem solving, where
each chapter introduces a new problem-solving strategy. In the Chapter roundup students are challenged to
solve a problem using this strategy.
The tables below list all the workbook exercises and how they link to the textbook. There is also a complete list
of all the skills developed in the four workbooks.
