Description
"Science Now!" is a series of topic books for Scottish Standard Grade and GCSE science groups. Each book tackles a key scientific idea or issue, adopting a magazine-style approach and including activities and graded questions. The material included aims to be realistic and topical, and is often based on case studies and recently published news articles. Basic information is integrated with practical activities and factual snippets. The activities are designed to stimulate pupils and encourage them to exercise a wide range of skills. The graded questions, at core (general) and extension (credit) levels, offer a structured progression from one task to the next.
