Science Focus: Looking into Science 2
This student book accompanies the nine teaching units which make up Science Focus: The Salters’ Approach for Year Eight. Looking into Science 2 is a full colour book which can be used to support, enrich or extend lessons.
Content is arranged as a succession of double-page spreads, each of which is closely linked to a particular activity or lesson in Teacher’s Guide 2. The lesson plans and teaching notes in Teacher’s Guide 2 give references to the relevant pages of the student books, and these references are shown again with the teaching notes for each activity.
Looking into Science 2 provides information, interactive text and guidelines for a variety of practical and text-related activities. The book can be used to stimulate interest in a new topic, perhaps by asking students to read a spread as homework, or as a reference source during lessons. Some spreads may be used as a ‘starting point’ for discussions, debates or role-play exercises.
The nine teaching units covered in Looking into Science 2 are:
*Music and Noise: Making, transmitting and hearing sounds.
*Seeing the Light: Light and how we see.
*Full of Beans: Growing plants from seed.
*Body Care: Location, structure and function of human organs.
*Wear and Tear: An introduction to textiles.
*Child’s Play: Transfer and conservation of energy.
*Conditions for Life: Relationships between species and habitats.
*On the Rocks: An introduction to Rocks and Minerals
*Fire, Friend or Foe?: Burning Fuels and Fighting Fires.
The units are arranged in the same order in this book, Working with Science 2 and Teacher’s Guide 2.
