Science Extension Support Program
Supporting teachers and students with HSC Science Extension
The Science Extension Support Program provides comprehensive support to both Science Extension teachers and students through three layers of assistance:
Our goal is to equip Science Extension students with the knowledge, skills and support they need to succeed in their research journeys.
This online session will cover topics including (but not limited to): the difference between primary, secondary and meta investigations, types of data, collecting valid and reliable data, and understanding the assumptions of statistical analysis techniques, in accordance with the syllabus.
This seminar is the second in a three-part series of data analysis advice workshops run by the University of Sydney for HSC Science Extension students. The session will cover topics including (but not limited to): classifications of data, choosing appropriate statistical analysis techniques, understanding hypothesis tests and statistical techniques such as linear regressions, the t-test and the chi-squared test and how to use Excel to efficiently analyse your data set, in accordance with the syllabus.
These sessions make up the third and final part of the data analysis advice series run by the University of Sydney for HSC Science Extension students. The Faculty of Science presents these free after school sessions where individual HSC Science Extension high school students from NSW can sign-up to hear from tutoring data scientists from the University of Sydney. Students will book into a half hour time slot with a small number of other students so that they can get personalised advice and recommendations for their own investigation data.
