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.

 

As part of our commitment to help you manage the transition between Key Stage 2 and 3, we have extended the course down into Years 5 and 6. Exploring Science 5 and 6 includes all the key features of the Key Stage 3 scheme.

Matches the QCA Scheme of Work for upper Key Stage 2. Differentiated at three levels. Provides animations and pupils' activities on the interactive CD-Rom (for use on the school network or with an electronic whiteboard). Includes revision material for the Year 6 SATs, plus FREE SATs-style questions are provided on the companion website, www.exploringscience.co.uk. Includes investigation pages. Provides a post-SATs project Unit to help the transition to Year 7.

This Student Book uses the Pearson Checkpoint learning approach, which has been designed to help students to develop the skills required for the exams.

The Checkpoint Teaching and Learning approach will help students to remember the key learning points from each topic, and to use their learning to apply, analyse and evaluate in new contexts. This support will help to develop the full range of skills that will be assessed in the exam.

Other key features of the Student Book include:

 

a Preparing for the Exam section at the end of every Topic, to help students understand how six mark questions will be assessed worked examples for Physics Equations to support students in the recall and application Physics equations  Core Practical pages that give students the opportunity to practice answering practical-based exam questions Questions that are all rated on a scale of 1 to 12 using the Pearson Steps system, encouraging students to answer increasingly difficult questions as they progress through the course.
