What Teachers said
The Year 12 resources are an enormous asset to our teaching of Biology. They provide impressive detail on every aspect of the syllabus and are filled with interesting and engaging material that our students love. They really streamline our teaching and allow us to focus on supporting individual students and their needs. They can be used effectively in multiple ways – as the primary teaching resource in the classroom, and as a supplementary resource that students can engage with on an individual level, in the class or at home. They are also invaluable in providing extension material that allows our most capable students to excel and reach their potential.
We really cannot recommend the resources enough. They are a perfect support for any teacher beginning their Biology teaching career, as well as an ideal supplement for experienced teachers looking for detailed and rich resources to enhance their teaching.

The Year 12 Biology resources have proven to be an invaluable asset for both me and my students. As a new-service Biology teacher, they have empowered me to create highly effective and authentic lessons, while also enabling my students to grasp and retain crucial Biology concepts and their real-world applications. I wholeheartedly recommend these resources to fellow educators.

I recently purchased Zebrafish Publications’ Year 12 Biology, and I couldn't be happier with this resource. For me, its standout features are its comprehensive coverage of HSC Biology topics and its emphasis on student involvement. Rather than spoon-feeding information, the resource encourages students to take an active role in their learning. The well-structured lesson worksheets provide a framework for student-led exploration, discussion, and problem-solving. I especially love the inclusion of case studies, like the one on SNPs and asthma medications. I also love the clarity and conciseness of the content. It’s not overloaded with unnecessary information, so both teachers and students can focus on the key concepts without feeling overwhelmed.
The language is accessible yet maintains a high academic standard, making it suitable for a diverse range of learners. If you're looking to streamline your lesson planning process while ensuring your students actively participate in their learning, this resource is an absolute must-have. I wholeheartedly recommend it to my fellow teachers.
