Springboard: KS3 Science Boost

Deliver KS3 Science with confidence using this bank of teaching and learning resources; all the teaching materials, guidance, worksheets, quizzes and reporting tools you need, all in one place.

Springboard: KS3 Science Boost contains Knowledge Tests that have been developed in partnership with Carousel Learning, an integrated retrieval practice platform for schools.

●Take a new approach to delivering KS3 Science: Our PowerPoint presentations provide a framework for your teaching, with Knowledge Check activities to further construct organic and dynamic lessons that are adaptable to each classroom.

●Provide practice for every topic: Interactive Knowledge Tests, developed with our partners Carousel Learning, will consolidate students’ learning throughout every topic - including spaced repetition and interleaving of topics to help embed core knowledge in long-term memory.

●Inspire the next generation of scientists: ‘Science Stories’ and ‘Science Careers’ activities will develop scientific literacy skills as well as capture students’ imagination and help visualise themselves as tomorrow’s scientists.

●Support every student: Differentiated worksheets on every unit will ensure you can support, stretch and challenge students as needed, with the ability to measure and report on progress with summative end-of-unit and end-of-year assessments.

Springboard: KS3 Science Boost includes eBooks of the Knowledge Book and Teacher Handbooks.
