Each topic in the Pupil's Book is supported by a spread providing the objectives, ideas for lessons, practical work (checked by CLEAPSS), answers to questions in the Pupil's Book and Copymaster Files and warning of any special preparation needed for the following topic.




"The support materials are excellent and provide a variety of exercises practical work which would be useful to specialists and non-specialists alike...At last, a science course which tackles Literacy in science in a structured and balanced way."
Mr G Bass, Head of Department, Eskdale School, Whitby, N Yorks.

Exploring Science Pupils' Books

Pupils' Books provide full coverage of the Key Stage 3 Science Curriculum and are each divided into twelve units that follow the Units in the QCA Scheme of work.

Pupils' Book 9 contains eighteen units – twelve units that cover the QCA Scheme of Work, plus three additional revision units and three post-SATs project units. 

Questions in the Pupils' Books get increasingly harder and open-ended and the length of the text between questions is increased to help improve literacy levels.  ‘Focus on' pages in each unit provide additional extension and enrichment material at the Could know level.
