Complete Physics for Cambridge Secondary 1 Student Book

Zusatztext Complete Science for Cambridge Secondary 1 is easy to navigate, with each learning topic covered by a double-page spread. Concepts are clearly explained and followed by questions to test students understanding. In addition to these, this book contains end of unit questions to help students prepare for the progress test. And also, Scientific Enquiry sections include advice on carrying out practical work and recording results. Answers to the questions are included onthe Teacher's Resource book and CD-ROM. Klappentext Fully matched to the Cambridge Lower Secondary Physics syllabus, this rigorous Student Book prepares learners for both the Cambridge Checkpoint test and for the leap to IGCSE Science, introducing the principles of scientific enquiry, extension material and assessment practice from the outset. Vorwort Support for the previous Cambridge Lower Secondary Science curriculum Zusammenfassung The Complete Physics Student Book provides support for the physics element of the previous Cambridge Lower Secondary Science curriculum.The book covers all three years of Cambridge Lower Secondary Physics, flowing smoothly from one stage to the next. The rigorous series builds learners' confidence using consolidation-focused activities and regular review sections, prepares them for long-term assessment success using extension material and encourages critical thinking and practical investigation, using engaging scientific enquiry sections.
