Marshall Cavendish | Lower Secondary Science Matters (2nd Edition) Workbook Volume A

The Science Matters (2nd Edition) workbooks are designed to complement the textbooks, which are aligned to the latest Lower Secondary Science syllabus by the Ministry of Education, Singapore.

The workbooks deepen understanding and reinforce concepts covered in the textbooks. The various types of questions in these books, such as graphic organizers, challenging questions and contextualized questions, help students recall, apply and make connections between concepts. In addition, the questions are scaffolded so that students can apply their knowledge incrementally in a guided manner.

Emphasis is placed on the development of skills that allow students to interact with a given context in a question.
