Science Scope: Physics is one of three books in a series of KS3 science texts aimed at teachers who choose to teach this key stage as three separate subject disciplines. The books are aimed at middle-ability students (around NC levels 5-6), but will contain all the material needed for pupils to reach the highest levels. The higher level text is separated out from the body of the text, so that teachers can ensure that they are teaching only what their pupils need. The books will also include all the material needed for pupils to complete their Common Entrance 13+ exam.
