SLH and the carbon cycle

Many resources on the Science Learning Hub explore ideas relating to carbon and its uses, processes, reactions and how it cycles within and around Earth.

This online PD session for secondary teachers, recorded on 26 March 2015, models ways some of these resources can be used, with a focus on level 6 science concepts leading to assessment using Achievement Standard 90953.

This PLD session was based on the legacy Science Learning Hub however all the resources are still available on the new-look Science Learning Hub site.
