Springboard: KS3 Science Teacher Handbook 3

Deliver the Springboard Science course confidently with this workload-friendly approach to a knowledge-rich curriculum.
Learn how to use cognitive science principles to deliver more effective, dynamic and engaging lessons, whatever your level of experience. Divided into topics, rather than lessons, this handbook enables you to teach each topic in a responsive fashion and at a pace that is right for your students.
> Feel fully supported. Guided explanations, diagram constructions, demonstrations and worked examples have been carefully crafted to support all teachers, including those teaching outside of their subject specialism.
> Overcome common misconceptions. Prerequisite knowledge checks for students help you to identify any missing knowledge or misconceptions before a topic is started, with approaches to solve these covered throughout the explanations.
> Tailor teaching to the class in front of you. 'Check for understanding' questions allow you to adapt your delivery to meet students' needs, with suggested questions and responses to start the process.
> Take a different approach to practicals. Our 'slow practical' approach exemplifies core concepts and provides students with a clear grounding in practical skills, with at least one essential practical for every unit.

The three Teacher Handbooks (one for each year) 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.

Designed to be used alongside our Knowledge Book and Practice Books. 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 Practice books provide an abundance of questions for independent practice.
