Cosmos Magazine Resources
The Royal Institution of Australia publishes a quarterly science magazine called Cosmos. In Education, we select our favourite for schools and share them with you. In the resource, you get a full copy of the article to share with your students, associated activities for your students and a teacher resource with guidance on how it connects to the curriculum and suggested questions for students.
You can use these resources to:
- incorporate global science issues into your teaching
- develop students’ critical thinking skills
- raise awareness of STEM careers
- revise science understanding outcomes
Have a look at our Cosmos Magazine resources and take the stress out of lesson planning today.
