Amazon Review - 3 Feb 2010
***** I can't recommend this book highly enough. An excellent revision guide. My 13 year old actually wants to read this! That says it all. A complete must have for all common entrance candidates. And suitable for science boffins and reluctant scientists alike.

***** This is a fantastic reference book for anybody doing key stage 3 or common entrance exams. All the information you need is in this one book in an easy to read format.

A single text for all three sciences for the two year course leading to the 13+ CE examination is a first in publishing and will be warmly welcomed by teachers and pupils alike. The content provides thorough coverage of the CE syllabus and the style and format cannot fail to enthuse and captivate the reader.

Having been sent many other Key Stage 3 textbooks, I have to say that this book is absolutely brilliant and I am delighted with the layout of it.

So you really want to learn Science 2, published by Galore Park, contains all the material needed for the Key Stage 3 syllabus in one volume, with each science colour-coded for ease of reference. Although the text has been written for pupils in the prep school sector, I believe that it is perfect for teaching any Key Stage 3 pupil as all the material in the book is relevant for the national curriculum.
The information is clearly presented with explanations followed by practice exercises to ensure that students have grasped each concept. There are also extension questions for further practice and development on certain topics. A separate answer book accompanies the textbook as well as an excellent resource CD which features downloadable experiments, data handling exercises, internet projects and much more. This is a fantastic complement to the textbook and an ideal resource for busy science departments, particularly where a non-specialist is teaching the subject.
After looking for a whole of Key Stage 3 textbook, I was delighted to finally find a book with such clear content and challenging exercises. My students are thoroughly enjoying using this series and I would certainly recommend this book to any teacher of the Key Stage 3 syllabus.
