What is this book?

In Class 3 the science book gets more serious: children learn about the life cycle, electricity, simple machines and the Solar System. New Oxford Primary Science 3 shares the six-part structure of the whole series, with parts for Ourselves, Living Things, Materials and Matter, Forces, Energy and Machines, The Earth and the Atmosphere and The Sky and Space.

Part 1 has two units (the human body with 10 pages and health and safety with 9). Part 2 moves to the living world: living on Earth, the life cycles of animals and the life cycle of a plant. Part 3 is a single unit on materials. Part 4 is the largest part with four units (force, electricity, simple machines, sound and light). Parts 5 and 6 end the year with the Earth and the Solar System.

There are Fun Pages after each part, and the book has a glossary on page 104.

The six parts in short

Part 1 – Ourselves (pages 2–22). The human body (10 pages) and health and safety (9 pages), plus Fun Pages. It sets up the year with the child's own body.

Part 3 – Materials and Matter (pages 53–62). One unit on materials, 8 pages with Fun Pages after it.

Part 4 – Forces, Energy, and Machines (pages 63–86). Force, electricity, simple machines and sound and light. This is where Class 3 children first experiment with circuits, levers and sound.

Parts 5 and 6 – Earth and sky (pages 87–104). The Earth and the Solar System. The glossary on page 104 closes the book.
