Our RAFT polymerisation process enables the production of polymers that are designed with enhanced properties for a myriad of uses across health, industry and agriculture. It is based on scalable manufacturing processes that are compatible with conventional polymerisation reactors.
Tina Jameson's insight:
Includes a simple video explaining what polymers are and how they are used - this CSIRO video is promoting the commercial viability of it's process - but still a useful intro.

A well curated Pinterest Board on 'Introduced Species' / 'Invasive Species' in Australia. Currently relevant to our year 7 science curriculum. Would make an interesting alternative starting point. Perhaps students could create their own Pinterest boards, or collaborate to create a class Padlet. (https://padlet.com/)

Summary of Teaching Resource: Teaching ideas for teaching year 3/4 forces and the properties of materials. These ideas are linked to the
This comprehensive resource has a variety of material to engage the needs of the learners. Teachers will be able to adapt the material to suit the needs of their classrooms. The lessons align with the Australian Curriculum. It also has links to other learning areas such as science.
There is a lesson plan called Rubber Band Boat Investigation where students learn about the force created when twisting rubber bands. One called Plastic Cup Votex Gliders where students also use rubber bands to test force. An Incline Plane Investigation where students discover how the slope of an incline effects the force needed to move an object.
By accessing these units of work students will use their design skills, solve problems, use their literacy skills to document findings, use their critical and creative thinking skills by organising and processing information, as well as reflecting on how the force of an object can be affected.
These units will engage students in cross curriculum priorities and general capabilities areas of literacy, numeracy, ICT, critical and creative thinking with a personal and social capability as the units can be completed as a collaborative learning exercise.

The Australian Curriculum: Science provides opportunities for students to develop an understanding of important science concepts and processes, the practices used to develop scientific knowledge, of science’s contribution to our culture and society, and its applications in our lives. The curriculum supports students to develop the scientific knowledge, understandings and skills to make informed decisions about local, national and global issues and to participate, if they so wish, in science-related careers.
Essential reading: ACARA pages on Science Curriculum - Foundation to Year 10.
