With its colourful, content-based approach and built-in progression, "Starting Science" has long been a firm favourite of teachers and students in Scotland. As the new 5-14 Guidelines come into effect, we want you to be sure you can still get all you need out of the books you enjoy using. That's why we have produced a new edition especially for Scotland. "Starting Science for Scotland: Students' Book 1" is the first of two volumes of science for the age-range 12-14 years. It follows the Scottish science curriculum but would be suitable for any course at this level.

 

This book is part of a book series called Starting Science .

There are 128 pages in this book. This book was published 2002 by Oxford University Press .

But at other times he's been an enthusiastic magician, a jug band washboard strummer, a stand-up comedian, a bit of a singer, a composer/bandleader, and the owner of his very own jazz club. There were some other jobs too, but they were all about money - and not much fun at all. He lives in Oxfordshire and is married with two children.
