Description
Students in the compulsory years of science schooling need to develop an interest in, and an understanding of, the world around them. They need to be able to engage in sensible discussion of science-based events that are becoming increasingly important to their everyday lives. Cambridge Essential Science is a textbook and learning package that is responsive to the ways in which science teaching is evolving. There is a greater emphasis on the use of technology and on real world applications. This combined learning package is aligned with the key learning outcomes of the CSF II at Level 5.
