All Mandatory practicals are included in the Student Book and in a more scaffolded format in the Skills & Assessment Books. These come with a complementary PASCO SPARKlabs. You'll find a wealth of resources and support here on the PASCO site specifically to support implementation of the new QCE Biology, Chemistry and Physics, including equipment lists and extra resources. Bookmark this page and come back soon, as there will also be SPARKlabs for Marine Science and Agricultural Science. 

 

All pracs have been comprehensively developed to fully address the syllabus requirements and maximise the learning opportunity. Each practical has been trialled and tested to ensure it can be safely performed and yields effective results and includes a depth of questions and applications that enable students to develop and demonstrate required manipulative and data and error analysis skills.
