Books For the Separate Sciences

at Key Stage 3

The Ways into Science series was first published in 2001 as a set of eight books. Due to its popularity, I doubled the size of the series in 2003, and in the United States, it was released under the title Everyday Science. Following its success, I produced these videos to support the first eight books. Although originally planned for use in Key Stage 1 science, I have also found that they can be successfully used in some Key Stage 2 science lessons.

Each video is accompanied by a ZIP file of PDF resources, including a “Stop and Chat” sheet for the video, a science quiz with an answer sheet, and an experiment report sheet. Find out more about “Stop and Chat” below.

Books For the Separate Sciences

at Key Stage 3

This was the first science series I devised and wrote in the final years of the last century. The physics book in this series won the TES/EPC Schoolbook Award for Science (Secondary) in 2000, but all the books were set out in the same award-winning format. The Checkpoint Science series developed from these books.

The first editions of these books were written to cover the requirements for the Common Entrance Examination at 13+, the UK National Curriculum for Science at Key Stage 3, and equivalent junior secondary courses. These are the second editions but retain the features of the award-winning format of the first editions and were prepared with the more recent QCA scheme in mind.
