Cambridge Lower Secondary Science 2nd Edition

Whether they are making circuits, discovering how plants grow or learning how gravity works, these new lower secondary resources help your learners develop critical thinking, communication and collaboration skills. With active learning at its heart, differentiation and assessment for learning opportunities, the series helps your students achieve their potential. You’ll find support for subject-specific vocabulary development and plenty of opportunities to develop scientific enquiry skills. The accompanying Digital Classroom resource includes video, audio and interactive activities to bring your lessons to life. Our accessible teachers’ resources provide everything you need for the course including support and guidance to plan and deliver your lessons with confidence.

From discovering how air resistance helps planes land, to making your own circuits, Cambridge Lower Secondary Science gets you thinking like a scientist! Packed with opportunities to plan experiments, make predictions and gather results, the series helps you think and work scientifically. Each unit ends with a project, like making a model of a volcanic eruption, to help you bring together what you have learnt and show how the topics relate to the real world. With vocabulary boxes, clear diagrams and supporting illustrations, the course makes science accessible for learners with English as a second language.
