The Science in Focus Chemistry Skills and Assessment Workbook approaches the Chemistry NESA Stage 6 syllabi sequentially. The workbook is organised by inquiry question and have a skillsfocused worksheet approach. The workbook helps students build capacity to work scientifically, complete high-quality depth studies and succeed in formal school-based assessment and the HSC exam.

• Collection of trusted, high-quality worksheets that approach the syllabus sequentially, develop students’ ability to work scientifically and solidify key knowledge and understanding.
• Chapters sequentially follow the order of the relevant syllabus, with one chapter per inquiry question. Teachers do not need to spend time mapping the workbook to the syllabus.
