Exploring Science

I have just finished planning a short unit of Science using a resource I purchased for school with E-Learning credits earlier this year. Peason Longman's Exploring Science series is absolutely to be absolutely invaluable when it comes to planning for science. There is an interactive CD-ROM, and a children's book (although we didn't buy this). We also purchased the Copymaster CD-ROM which is fantastic for getting ideas for lessons. The best buy of all is the Teacher's Guide which covers everything you need to plan a unit of science. It was background information (very helpful!), practical activities, KS3 extensions, assessment and cross-curricular activities.

We purchased a copy for each year group, but of course I use the Year 6 book. There are resources available for Years 3 to Year 9!

It is a superb resource, and I would recommend it.
