The Association for Science Education
So many of our authors held fantastic sessions and it was wonderful to see everyone there.

Authors of Grappling with Graphs, Karen Collins and Amanda Clegg held a wonderful session which supported attendees to gain a better understanding of the complexities of graph construction and interpretation.

And we love seeing everyone who bought a copy showing it off :)
