What teachers say about COSMOS
- “The literacy aspect of the Cosmos Teacher’s Notes is what most impresses me. I really admire the way that scientific principles are taught across a range of faculties through a wide range of activities. This ensures that most, if not all, children can be engaged at some level.”
Jo Pagano, Teacher Librarian, Queensland, Australia
- “COSMOS and the Cosmos Teacher’s Notes help me to keep up to date with the rapidly developing pool of scientific knowledge. Reading them ensures I always have real life examples to refer to and a wealth of material for extension students to explore and discuss.”
Susan O’Malley, Head of ICT, South Australia, Australia
- “I think it's great, and have given subscriptions to the teenagers in my family who have subsequently renewed them. All universities should be sent similar opportunities, and I’m sure that students in primary schools would find the visual and factual articles quite stimulating.”
Elizabeth Wilson, Head Teacher Science, Tasmania, Australia
- “COSMOS has been a regular 'go to' publication in our school for teachers and students.”
Garth Rodd, Teacher Librarian, New Zealand
- “I love the Cosmos Teacher’s Notes: they have great activities, ranging from short and easy to work into a lesson, to complete investigations. Many of my students have loved the investigation into whether music affected short-term memory, and I have extended this with some classes. I save all of the notes onto the school intranet and, as we write new units, we often include the activities. I feel it is a great way of connecting the students with the science magazine they know that I read (they seen my T-shirts!)”
Julia Toft, Head of Department, Science, Queensland, Australia
- “Another feature of the magazine that we enjoy is the Portrait articles. We have a gallery of these images on the walls of a lab so that students can see the sort of people scientists are.”
Sue Liston, Head of Science, Victoria, Australia
- “COSMOS magazine provides me with information and activities about current issues and developments in science, and they do all the hard work for me.”
Jennifer English, Head Teacher Science, New South Wales, Australia
- “They are really helpful in engaging students and structuring lessons aligned with the curriculum topics.”
Linda Colless, Teacher Librarian, New South Wales, Australia
- “It is very useful to have purpose-written material supporting a leading science magazine such as COSMOS. It helps to engage the students as they learn to use printed resources and focusses them on the issue being discussed.”
Peter Walwyn, Head of Science, South Australia, Australia
- “The Cosmos Teacher’s Notes not only save a lot of time and effort, they also provide a creative springboard to developing lessons with a different ‘twist’.”
Judi Crouch, Teacher, New South Wales, Australia
- “A great resource to engage my students in science.”
Jarrod Evans, Science Teacher, Norfolk Island, Australia
- “As a science teacher, I subscribe to COSMOS as it gives me an insight into new scientific discoveries that are not always covered by the mainstream media. The graphics and articles are world class. Keep up the good work!”
Frank Milic, Science Co-ordinator, New South Wales, Australia
