Springboard: KS3 Science Practice Book 1

Provide all the independent practice needed for your Springboard Science course with over 1000 questions in each Practice Book.
The three Practice books (one for each year) provide an abundance of questions for independent practice and shed loads of practice (SLOP) for students to consolidate, apply and extend the knowledge that they have learnt. Designed to be used alongside our Knowledge Book and Teacher Handbooks. The Knowledge Book is the concise reference book for students, covering the entire curriculum and focusing on the key facts and concepts that they need to know. The three Teacher Handbooks give the teacher all the guidance and detail they need to deliver great science lessons. Their efficacy is further enhanced when used alongside a Boost subscription, which offers supplementary guidance and materials (including our customised Springboard Science two-year course planner) to enrich your science teaching experience.

With decades of teaching experience and extensive knowledge of applying cognitive science in the classroom, you can trust our author team to have created carefully crafted and varied questions for independent practice.
> Improve students' long-term retention. Spacing is built in throughout this Practice Book, improving retention over time.
> Highlight connections between topics and Sciences. Interleaving of content encourages students to recognise and focus on the connections, similarities and differences across science, enabling them to reflect on their learning in more depth.
> Build confidence in the key skills. Question sets include coverage of the key mathematical and working scientifically skills that students need to understand, ensuring that this knowledge is embedded throughout their independent practice.
> Support every student. Links to the relevant worked examples in the Knowledge Book are highlighted throughout each unit for easy reference.
> Prepare for the next step. Questions increase in difficulty throughout each topic, enabling students to progress through the KS3 curriculum and prepare for KS4 and beyond.
Answers are available online for free, and also embedded into the lesson presentations in our Boost digital teaching and learning resources for easy in-class independent practice review.
