Science - Key Stage 3

Science at Key Stage 3 is taught in a modular basis , founded on Pearson Exploring Science ; How Science Works. The modules are designed to examine how Science is part of every day life and uses scenarios to discuss major scientific phenomena. This work is enhanced through the use of multimedia experience to inform both practical and theoretical work.

Each module is examined through series of written tests conducted throughout the academic year.
