Introduction The Cambridge Primary Science series has been developed to match the Cambridge International Examinations Primary Science curriculum framework. It is a fun, flexible and easy to use course that gives both learners and teachers the support they need. In keeping with the aims of the curriculum itself, it encourages learners to actively engage with the content, and develop enquiry skills as well as subject knowledge.

FT

This Learner’s Book for Stage 2 covers all the content from Stage 2 of the curriculum framework. The topics are covered in the order in which they are presented in the curriculum for easy navigation. But they can be taught in any order that is most appropriate to you. The content pages contain many images and questions that you can use as a basis for class discussions. The emphasis in this stage is on linking what learners know about everyday life to scientific ideas.

A

Throughout the book, you will find ideas for practical activities which will help learners to develop their Scientific Enquiry skills as well as introduce them to the thrill of scientific discovery.

D R

Check your progress questions at the end of each unit can be used to assess learners’ understanding. We strongly advise you to use the Teacher’s Resource for Stage 2, ISBN 978-1-107-61148-1, alongside this book. This resource contains extensive guidance on all the topics, ideas for classroom activities, and guidance notes on all the activities presented in this Learners’ Book. You will also find a large collection of worksheets, and answers to all the questions from the Stage 2 products. Also available is the Activity Book for Stage 2, ISBN 978-1-107-61143-6. This book offers a variety of exercises to help learners consolidate understanding, practise vocabulary, apply knowledge to new situations and develop enquiry skills. Learners can complete the exercises in class or be given them as homework. We hope you enjoy using this series. With best wishes, the Cambridge Primary Science team.
