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.
