Engineers are the superheroes of the real world. They use their
problem-solving skills to face down the biggest challenges we have,
from creating clean energy to designing prosthetic limbs, from
eliminating food shortages to programming AI to exploring the
surface of Mars. In this book you'll meet 46 engineers, from
apprentices and lab technicians to university professors and
start-up CEOs and hear what problems they are solving and why they
love their jobs. Engineers are changing the world. Will you be one

In 1831, at only 22 years old, Darwin was offered the position of
Naturalist on HMS Beagle's world voyage. He was set to become a
clergyman but returns after five years at sea an inspired genius.
This book follows the journey of HMS Beagle, showing life on-board
the ship for Darwin, the captain, crew and the expedition's artist.
The reader sees Darwin discovering and observing insect life in
Brazil, fossils in Argentina , earthquakes in Chile and turtles in
the Galapagos Islands. The reader is therefore able to follow the
steps which led to Darwin's inspired theory of evolution, while
also showing the adventures and escapades he had during the voyage.
A fascinating and colourful story of Darwin's life, this book also
introduces young readers to one of the world's most important
scientists and his discoveries. It concludes with a simple
explanation of the theory of evolution. Written by an outstanding
team in the field of children's non-fiction, this is a book to
enlighten and inspire young readers.To watch a video describing

The STEM projects series provides opportunities for students to develop Science knowledge and skills, Design and technology skills, Mathematics skills and general capabilities while completing short or long-term projects. It encourages students to follow a consistent design process while completing the projects, including finding out information, planning and designing, creating, evaluating and communicating.
The projects allow students to work in small teams, using effective communication and collaboration skills, to plan, design, create and evaluate a thoughtful and innovative solution to a given task. When satisfied with their solutions, students showcase and discuss their design, explaining how science was used throughout the project.
The STEM projects series contains:
- two introductory cards explaining STEM education; time allocations for using the cards; and tips for planning, differentiating, teaching and assessing STEM projects, as well as classroom management and resource management ideas,
- one card with icons explaining each step of the design process, in child-friendly language,
- one card explaining the Science sub-strand; how the projects can be linked to Design and technology, Digital technology and Mathematics skills; and providing an overview of each project contained within the sub-strand, including the task and the specific materials required,
- six short-term projects and one long-term project for each sub-strand of Australian Curriculum: Science, and
- six copies of each project to allow for small-group use, 28 individual cards per box
