Chemistry Now! 11-14 2nd Edition

Summary:
Chemistry Now! 11-14 is one of three Pupil's Books that cover the requirements of the National Curriculum for science at Key Stage 3, the Common Entrance Examination at 13+ syllabus and equivalent junior science courses. Based on Chemistry Now! 11-14, the clear text and colourful illustrations and photographs fully explain the concepts and encourage background reading. Boxed sections are used to show how scientific ideas have developed and how they are applied in today's world.

Throughout there are numerous questions that test a range of skills including comprehension, application, analysis and evaluation. These may be used as a basis for classwork or homework. There are also 'For discussion' sections to encourage group discussion.



In this new edition, the Chapters have been reorganised to reflect the QCA Scheme of Work. There is also additional information on the tests for gases and compounds, mixtures and elements as well as expanded chapters on Rocks and Weathering and the Rock Cycle.



Each book has a glossary and is supported by a Teacher's Resource Book that contains details of practical work.
