Core Science is an accessible new course for key stage 3 science, designed to be suitable for a wide range in ability. It comprises two pupil’s books and accompanying photocopiable supplementary material. Core Science 2: Key Concepts is for use in year 9, and consolidates the knowledge gained in the earlier years. All topics are revisited and extended as pupils prepare for key stage 3 SATs and the start of GCSE courses. Core Science 2 also provides differentiation, with the provision of Core material for all pupils, and Core+ material for more able pupils, allowing them to aim for higher tier SATs.
