This pack aims to help to motivate and interest lower ability pupils in science by using varied approaches to each topic. Fully-photocopiable, it uses a wide variety of activities to: help pupils to really understand; enhance pupils' familiarity with scientific vocabulary and language; make pupils develop their practical skills rather than just relying on copying others; support pupils' general literacy, numeracy and learning skills to help them access science ideas; reward those pupils who do not normally get rewards for completing each module to keep them motivated.
