Cambridge Primary Science is a flexible, engaging course written specifically for the Cambridge Primary Science curriculum framework. This Learner's Book for Stage 3 covers all objectives required by the curriculum framework in an engaging, visually stimulating manner. Learning through enquiry is supported by hands-on activity suggestions, which provide integrated coverage of the Scientific Enquiry objectives. Language skills can be developed using the 'Talk about it!' ideas for classroom discussion. Assessment and preparation for the Progression Test is achieved through 'Check your progress' questions at the end of each unit.

Science Year 3 goes beyond the requirements of the new National Curriculum and builds an excellent foundation for scientificunderstanding, exploring the study of our bodies, vertebrates and invertebrates, light and shadow, materials, rocks and dinosaurs. Together with Science Year 4, this book is ideal to underpin a course of study leading to Common Entrance and other independent school entrance exams at 11+ - Endorsed by ISEB- Packed with challenging exercises and practical activities to stimulate and enthuse young scientists - 'Did you know?' boxes encourage an active interest in science and the world around us - Rigorous extension questions will stretch and challenge the most able

This title has been endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education Master the essential scientific concepts that underpin the new Cambridge Primary Science curriculum framework (0097), with specifically sign-posted tasks, activities and investigations rooted in the mastery approach. - Get learners thinking scientifically, with engaging activities designed to show Science in Context; including topics on how science is used in the home and the impact it has on our environment. - Focus on key concepts and principles with starter activities at the beginning of each unit, allowing teachers to establish current knowledge and plan future lessons. - Extend student's knowledge with 'Challenge yourself!' activities to push problem-solving further.

Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice. A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.
