Connected promotes scientific, technological, and mathematical literacy so that students can engage in a critical and informed manner with real-life science- and technology- related issues and authentic, context-based mathematical explorations.
Connected is published in three issues each year, aligned to curriculum levels 2, 3, and 4 for students in years 4–8, and supports literacy learning in these areas.
Connected is provided to all primary schools. Replacement copies can be obtained from Down the Back of the Chair.
Looking for our latest resources?
An online catalogue has been created for Instructional Series.
You'll find Teacher support materials (TSM), digital copies of each article, and other resources.
Digital versions of each article are available on Google Drive using Google Slides. Google Slides is a free online presentation application that can be used on a range of devices, desktops, laptops, and digital whiteboards.
The TSMs for Connected+ are available digitally as downloadable PDFs and as MS Word documents for download and editing. Using the editable MS Word file, teachers can adapt the learning activities to meet the needs of their students and the context for learning.
Most of the images, text, videos, audio, and graphic elements for Connected+ are available for teachers and students to download and reuse for educational purposes. You must attribute the writers, illustrators, and photographers of any material you reuse. Acknowledgements are found at the end of each Google Slides article, and on the inside back cover of each printed issue. Some images are provided under a Creative Commons attribution-only licence. This material can be used by anyone for any purpose, as long as the creators are attributed. Find out more about the Creative Commons licences.
Individual files are accessible on Google Drive, and you can find these from a link on the first page of the digital version of each article.
