The dynamic new approach for Key Stage 3
For the teacher
The Cambridge Essentials teaching experience
Teacher CD-ROM contains the full pupil CD-ROM material and adds links to our online planner. This provides a huge range of materials for teaching, all organised and matched to the book.
Teaching is supported at both levels by a range of worksheets, practicals, multiple-choice and SAT-style tests, e-learning tests, guidance, answers to the questions in the book, starters and plenaries, sample lesson plans, Assessment for Learning tasks, and more. The Planner makes it easy to switch between the books and between sections of a book. All the materials are presented clearly on screen with previews, and are available to download as printable PDFs and as editable files.
Download sample teacher materials
These materials are provided here as PDF files, but the full version of Cambridge Essentials Science also gives you access to files that you can tailor in your word processor.
