Welcome to Your Professional Learning Toolkit
A research-backed, flexible, and deeply personal resource to transform how you teach primary science — architected by Dr Anne Forbes.
Whether you’re new to MyScience or looking to deepen your practice, this toolkit meets you exactly where you are. It’s not a rigid course — it’s a personalized growth journey designed around 7 domains of scientific investigation.
“Finding effective ways to open doors to the world of science and STEM for young learners and their teachers.”
Your Journey Starts with Self-Evaluation
Use our mapping tool to reflect on your current practice across seven key domains. You’ll instantly receive a personalised profile highlighting your strengths and pinpointing where to grow. From there, you choose the learning pathways that matter most to you.
Seven Domains of Scientific Investigation
Each domain offers two levels of depth. Start at Level 1 to build foundations, then advance to Level 2 for extended practice.
1. Knowing & Thinking
Building scientific knowledge and thinking skills.
2. Planning Investigations
Turning curiosity into testable experiments.
3. Conducting Investigations
Safe, accurate, and reliable data collection.
4. Processing: Analysing & Concluding
Making sense of results and drawing conclusions.
5. Processing: Explaining & Publishing
Communicating findings like real scientists.
6. Evaluating & Assessing
Confident, criteria-based assessment.
7. Integrating ICT
Meaningful technology integration.
