Activate a love of science from the start of KS3 with Activate Student Book 1
This student book will spark students' curiosity in biology, chemistry and physics from the very start of their secondary science journey and prepare them for GCSE. The engaging content encourages and supports students to question and analyse topics.Activate aims to spark a love of science from the start of Key Stage 3 and build students up towards GCSE. Activate Student Book 1 is split into distinct Biology, Chemistry and Physics units. Working Scientifically activities are woven throughout as well as having a full chapter to introduce skills like recording, analysing and evaluating data. Each unit opens with a reminder of what has been covered at Key Stage 2, so students can make links to what they know already. Picture Puzzlers are a great way to grab students' attention while maths and literacy skills activities are clearly labelled.
