Science for the New Zealand Curriculum Year 11 continues from the Year 9 and 10 titles in the series to cover Level 6 of the Science Learning Area and the realigned NCEA Level 1 Achieving Standards. Like the earlier books, the Nature of Science strand is the overarching theme through which the textbook aims to bring to students the story of science as a human endeavour, relating to our everyday lives and the world. The text and it's workbook are written by teachers with many years experience of preparing students for high achievement in the NCEA. The books offer a range of activities that encourage students to think like a scientist and understand, investigate, communicate, participate and contribute to the world of science.
