1. Exploring Science Lower Secondary Book 3 | KS3 Year 9

*Short Description*

KS3 Science textbook for Year 9 / Grade 8. Full-color student book covering Biology, Chemistry, Physics with advanced practicals + ‘Tusk master’ context. Final KS3 book before IGCSE. By Mark Levesley, Sue Kearsey, Iain Brand, Sue Robilliard, Penny Johnson.

*Full Product Description*

Exploring Science: Lower Secondary 11-14 – Book 3

This is the Year 9 / Grade 8 student textbook from Pearson Exploring Science series. Last KS3 book before IGCSE. Focuses on higher-level working scientifically skills + complex concepts to bridge to IGCSE Combined Science.

Cover shows close-up black & white photo of elephant face with tusks. Text: “Tusk master. Elephant tusks are mainly made of a composite material called dentin or dentine. The same material is found in human teeth. Elephants use them as levers to dig for food and water, and to strip bark from trees. Similar to left- and right-handed humans, elephants are left- or right-tusked.” = Biology + Physics link: materials, forces, levers, adaptations.
