Presents nine experiments that help demonstrate the properties of matter, focusing on how solids, liquids, and gases differ and how they change with temperature.

Through a series of unique experiments, young readers can discover the different types of energy and how energy can be changed; includes ideas for science fair projects.

Provides instructions on how to do simple science experiments using simple machines, and gives explanations for why they work.

Following the scientific process, this title provides instructions on how to conduct experiments that help students gain a better understanding of the states of matter.

Simple text explores the principles of liquids, including melting, freezing, surface tension, and density.

A collection of exciting experiments unlocks the mysteries of electricity and its connection with magnetism, offering simple projects using common materials to explain the physics of electricity.

Are some pennies denser than others? Does heat have weight? How can you calculate the energy released when steam condenses? Using easy-to-find materials and the scientific method, student scientists can learn the answers to these questions and more. For students interested in competing in science fairs, the book contains lots of great suggestions and ideas for further experiments.

Collects experiments pertaining to reflection, refraction, and vision, offering simple projects using household items that demonstrate the behavior of light.

Explores how sound is made, the way it travels, and the process by which it is heard, with an emphasis on how musical instruments make their different notes, and includes experiments using household items.

Topic Outlines show parts of the PoS to be covered, the relationship of the topic to aspects of KS2 and KS4 and warn of equipment that may need special preparation time in advance. Topic Maps are provided for students. Lesson Notes relating to each double page spread in the students' book offer objectives, ideas for each lesson, detailed references to the PoS, level descriptions, safety points with references to CLEAPPS HAZCARDS, ICT support, cross-curricular links and equipment lists. Answers to all questions in the students' book are also provided. Additional support material provide: Homework Sheets, Help and Extension Sheets to optimise differentiation (Sc1), Sc1 Skill Sheets, 'Thinking about....' activities to improve integration of CASE activities with Spotlight Science, Revision Quizzes and Checklists, etc. Extra Help Sheets for each topic extend the range of support for Sc1 and Sc2-4. Challenge Sheets for each topic provide a variety of enrichment activities for more able students. They consist of a variety of challenging activities which will present students with opportunities to develop problem-solving, thinking, presentational and interpersonal skills. Technician's Cards include help to prepare lessons, equipment requirements and CLEAPPS HAZCARD references. For more information visit the website at www.spotlightscience.co.uk
