Cool Australia has been supporting teachers since 2008, providing them with learning activities and resources that make teaching and understanding real world scenarios as easy as possible. Units, lessons and activities are Australian Curriculum aligned and free to educators and students. Parents can currently sign up to access free curriculum-aligned lessons and activities for use at home. You can browse by resource type, year levels and subjects. There is also a student friendly toolbox that contains instructions for experiments.
