About this book:
This comprehensive bundle is designed for the Cambridge Lower Secondary Science curriculum framework. It seamlessly integrates a physical textbook with one year of digital access, offering a flexible learning experience. The book encourages students to think like scientists through "Getting Started" activities and "Think like a scientist" practical tasks. It places a heavy emphasis on Scientific Enquiry, helping learners develop investigative skills and environmental awareness. With clear English and scaffolded support, it is particularly effective for learners using English as a second language, ensuring complex biological, chemical, and physical concepts are accessible and engaging.
Table of Contents Overview:
The book is structured into several key units that cover the breadth of the three main sciences, alongside earth and space:
- Cells: Introduction to the building blocks of life, including plant and animal cell structures.
- Materials and their Structure: Exploring the properties of substances, the particle model, and how solids, liquids, and gases behave.
- Forces and Energy: Understanding different types of forces, how energy is transferred, and the basics of gravity.
- Grouping and Identifying Organisms: Classification systems and using keys to identify living things.
- Properties of Matter: Investigating acids, alkalis, and how substances interact.
- Earth and Space: A look at the Earth’s structure, the solar system, and our place in the universe.
- Ecosystems: How organisms interact within their environments and the importance of conservation.
Summary:
- The series is designed to help learners think like scientists by engaging in hands-on activities and experiments.
- Each unit provides opportunities to plan experiments, make predictions, and gather results, fostering scientific inquiry skills.
- Projects at the end of each unit, such as making a model of a volcanic eruption, help learners consolidate their learning and apply it to real-world scenarios.
- The course is designed to be accessible for learners with English as a second language, featuring vocabulary boxes, clear diagrams, and supporting illustrations.
- Key features include "Getting Started" boxes at the beginning of each topic to activate prior knowledge, "Think like a scientist" tasks for practical application of scientific thinking, and "Look what I can do" sections for reflection on learning.
- The topics covered in the series support the earth and space strand of the curriculum framework.
- Answers to all activities are available in the accompanying teacher’s resource.
- Downloadable tests with answers provide assessment opportunities.
- The table of contents outlines the topics covered in each unit, including cells, materials and their structure, forces and energy, grouping and identifying organisms, properties of materials, earth physics, microorganisms in the environment, changes to materials, and electricity.
