TEXTBOOK

Our series uses a multi-modal and multi-sensory approach to support effective learning for diverse student profiles. To help students better visualize abstract concepts, the content is represented using rich infographics in the Textbooks, and videos, animations and simulations in the eBooks.

Includes engaging visuals and trigger questions to promote inquiry-based and self-directed learning.

Features experiment-based or hands-on activities to introduce experimental skills and support conceptual development.

Includes formative and exam-style questions for learners to check and review their understanding of concepts.

THEORY WORKBOOK & PRACTICAL WORKBOOK

Both the Theory and Practical Workbook provides opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and skills in various contexts, including real-life scenarios. The understanding of scientific concepts is reinforced by linking theory to the practical applications between both books.

Provides students with opportunities to hone their practical skills, includes questions that require students to analyse, evaluate and make conclusions, and reinforces concepts by linking theory to the practical.

Problem-based Learning encourages learners to use visual tools as part of the problem-solving process to help structure their thoughts and ideas, which can then be transformed into practical solutions.

Formative and summative questions help students assess their understanding of concepts across various chapters. Helps students identify and address knowledge gaps as part of being self-directed learners.

TEACHER'S GUIDE & TEACHER'S EDITION OF THEORY AND PRACTICAL WORKBOOK

The Teacher’s Guide incorporates the 3Cs with 1E pedagogical framework to provide a consistent cycle for all lessons to ensure engagement, construction of knowledge, consolidation of learning and enrichment to extend learning. It summarises the components in the learning and teaching resources, and includes guidance on how to prepare and enact lessons effectively using the 3Cs with 1E pedagogical framework.

Schemes of Work provides convenience and ease for teachers to quickly know where the resources are to design lessons, with the suggested time frame and learning outcomes listed for each lesson.

Lesson plans cater to the needs of diverse student profiles through differentiated instruction, which includes suggested teaching ideas for engaging lessons, critical thinking questions for inquiry-based learning and suggestions to remediate possible misconceptions.

Lesson-by-lesson slides that follow the 3Cs with 1E pedagogical framework offer a convenient hybrid solution for teachers to carry out engaging lessons both in class and online to achieve the desired learning outcomes while fostering inquiry among learners.
