EXCITING NEW CHANGES FOR 2019 to 2020!!!
A new format of topic book is currently in the works, the "Winners Edition". These will have student created explantory material at the start, and much more exam question practice, human translated wordlists, hopefully in a variety of languages as well as practice tests.
They will be revolutionary and fantastic!
Until then though, the old versions of topic books have been removed. I would have prefered to keep access open to educational materials especially for those who are in less well funded schools, but an off the charts character, like if the charts are here with us on Earth they're outside the observable universe, that level, has meant I need to go down this road instead to help those with fewer oppertunities. "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." Albert Einstein
To revise best for the end of year exams concentrate on the practice exam questions. Also useful is the Revision Booklet made for an end of term exam, which can be downloaded here.
To see what a completed model topic book looks like click here, and click here. Notice the questions are not only answered and corrected, but the best answer (the first answer given in the mark scheme) is also included in the notes.
Cambridge (CIE) Secondary 1 Science
This syllabus is based on the UK National Curriculum Key Stage 3 Science course and adapted by the Cambridge International Examinations group (a part of the University of Cambridge) for English as a Second Language learners of science.
Textbooks
I have not taught this syllabus long which is why this page is incomplete, but also might explain why I have yet to see a good textbook for students who have just started to learn science in English at this stage.
However, here are two providers of textbooks designed specifically for this syllabus (but neither seems to aattempt to address the problems faced by students learning in English for the first time):
