What’s the difference between individual subscriptions, class subscriptions and school subscriptions?
Individual subscriptions
Individual subscriptions are designed for parents and homeschoolers who wish to purchase subscriptions for one or more children. Each child needs to be subscribed separately, using their own username and password.
Individual subscriptions are available for each year level ($25) or for all year levels ($45).
Class subscriptions
Class subscriptions are designed for schools who wish to purchase subscriptions for separate class groups.
Class teachers are assigned as group leaders, which enables them to enrol students and monitor their progress.
Class subscriptions are available for each year level ($19 per student).
School subscriptions
School subscriptions are designed for schools who wish to purchase subscriptions for their whole school as a single group, as an economical alternative to class subscriptions.
A single teacher (eg head of department) is assigned as group leader, which enables them to enrol students and monitor their progress.
School subscriptions include access to all courses for all students ($11 per student).
Do the online courses keep a record of student progress?
The online courses keep track of all topics, lessons and courses that have been completed, including results for all quiz attempts.
Teachers who have been assigned as group leaders can view data on all of their students.
When a course is completed, students receive a certificate of completion.
Can the online courses be used with the workbooks?
The online courses are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with the workbooks, but can also be used as stand-alone resources.
The online lessons within each course correspond directly with the individual worksheets within each workbook. These lessons contain all the information required to complete the worksheets (except for Extension Questions and Topics For Further Research).
The quiz questions in the online courses are different to those in the workbooks. The quizzes are simpler as they are designed to be done while a student is encountering information for the first time, whereas the worksheets cover a more in-depth understanding.
Do the online courses cover the Australian Curriculum?
Currently, all course content is aligned to version 8.4 of the Australian curriculum.
In 2026, course content will be aligned to version 9.0 of the Australian curriculum.
Can I trial the courses before paying for subscriptions?
The first lesson in each course is available as a free sample lesson so you can trial the course content before purchasing.
If you are the head of science at your school, you can request a 1 month free trial of all available courses.
