ISBN TO COME, written by Peter Macinnis, to be published by the National Library of Australia
For information from the publisher, see LINK TO COME.
This book is written for ages 10-14, and my aim was to take a look at the science that confronted the early explorers of Australia and provide some worthwhile projects and activities for readers. There will be around 20 to 30 activities which will help them experience what the ex0plorers experienced. Because many explorers were injured or died, adult oversight will often be necessary.
This book is now through first draft. This page is a place-holder until I have time to finalise the details.
