Body Systems Detective KS3 is a five-mission Year 8 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for KS3 biology: body systems. Pupils investigate the functions of the skeleton (support, protection, movement and making blood cells), work out how muscles pull in antagonistic pairs such as the biceps and triceps, identify hinge and ball-and-socket joints, put the digestive system in order and meet the enzymes that break down food, follow oxygen and carbon dioxide through the lungs, trachea, diaphragm and alveoli, and plan a balanced diet from its food groups. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Elements & Compounds KS3 is a five-mission Year 8 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for KS3 chemistry (elements and compounds). Learners understand that an atom is the smallest particle of an element and that an element is made of only one type of atom, use the periodic table to sort the elements into metals and non-metals, read chemical symbols such as H, O, C, Na and Fe, explain how atoms bond to form compounds and molecules like water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), and sort substances into elements, compounds and mixtures. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Energy Detective KS3 is a five-mission Year 8 activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for KS3 physics (energy). Learners name the five energy stores (kinetic, thermal, chemical, gravitational potential and elastic), follow energy as it is transferred between stores while it is always conserved, spot wasted energy dissipated as heat, sort non-renewable fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) from renewable resources (solar, wind and hydro), explain heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation, and work out simple efficiency from the useful energy transferred out. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Electricity & Magnetism KS3 is a five-mission Year 8 physics activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for KS3 electricity and magnetism. Pupils learn that current is the flow of charge measured in amperes with an ammeter and that voltage is measured in volts with a voltmeter, compare series circuits (one loop, current the same everywhere) with parallel circuits, explore how resistance in ohms opposes current, sort conductors from insulators, and master magnetic poles, field lines and switchable electromagnets. Every knowledge question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Working Scientifically KS3 is a five-mission Year 7 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for KS3 working scientifically. Pupils learn to identify the independent variable they change, the dependent variable they measure and the control variables kept the same to make a fair test; to write a testable hypothesis and a clear, repeatable method; to select the right apparatus and use correct units (cm, g, s, °C, ml); and to record results in a table, plot line or bar graphs, spot anomalous results, draw a valid conclusion from the data and evaluate their method. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Animals Including Humans KS2 is a five-mission Year 4 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum (KS2). Children identify the four types of teeth — incisors, canines, premolars and molars — and describe their functions, put the human digestive system in order from the mouth, oesophagus and stomach to the small and large intestine, learn how sugar causes tooth decay and why teeth are brushed twice a day, and construct and interpret food chains with producers, consumers, predators and prey, understanding that the arrow shows the flow of energy. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Earth & Space Detective KS2 is a five-mission Year 5 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for Earth and Space. Children describe the Sun, Earth and Moon as approximately spherical bodies, learn that the Sun is a star at the centre of the solar system, match the Earth’s roughly 365-day orbit of the Sun, the Moon’s roughly 28-day orbit of the Earth and the Earth’s 24-hour rotation to their time-spans, use rotation to explain day and night and why the Sun only appears to move across the sky, and put the eight planets in order from Mercury to Neptune. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Electricity Detective KS2 is a five-mission KS2 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for electricity, drawing on Year 4 and Year 6. Children name the cell, wire, bulb, switch, buzzer and motor, discover that a complete closed loop is needed for the current to flow so a gap means the bulb will not light, sort conductors such as copper and steel from insulators such as plastic, wood, rubber and glass, and learn how switches, extra cells and Year 6 circuit symbols work, alongside staying safe with mains electricity. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Evolution & Inheritance KS2 is a five-mission Year 6 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for evolution and inheritance. Children learn that living things produce offspring of the same kind that still vary from their parents, sort inherited characteristics from environmental ones, investigate how animals and plants such as the camel, polar bear and cactus are adapted to survive, and discover how fossils provide evidence for evolution and how Charles Darwin explained natural selection. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Light Detective KS2 is a five-mission Year 3/6 science activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for light. Children discover that we need light to see and that dark is the absence of light, sort light sources such as the sun, torch, lamp and candle from objects that only reflect light such as mirrors and the Moon, use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain how we see objects, and investigate how opaque objects form shadows that change size and how mirrors reflect light — including the vital rule never to look directly at the Sun. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
