Interstate Research Teams

11 Interstate Reasearch Teams in Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania are currently working on scientific investigations. Students will be contributing their research towards the publication of a science education resource which will comprise of a website, booklet and CD-ROM.

During the research phase of the project teachers and students will be creating links between regional centres through communicating their ideas and findings. One of the methods to help promote this communication is a Wiki, called ScienceLinks. This is a free site where students and teachers can discuss their investigations. The site works like a forum, visitors can read the discussions however the contributers are required to log in before they can publish their discussion or upload images. The site is monitored by a web administrator to ensure appropriate use of the space.
