How the book is built
Every chapter has nine lessons and takes 16 pages, so the eleven chapters run from page 5 to page 180. Lessons are labelled with a number and a letter (1.1a and 1.1b are the two lessons of topic 1.1). Two kinds of lesson are marked in brackets:
- (WS) – Working Scientifically. One in each chapter, from Microscopes (WS) (1.3b) and Scientific questions (WS) (2.2b) to Safety when heating (WS) (4.3a), Controlling risk (WS) (5.1c), SI units (WS) (10.4b) and Line graphs and scatter graphs (WS) (11.2b). They teach skills such as measuring, safety, graphs and judging evidence.
- (STEM). One in each chapter, linking the science to technology, engineering and mathematics, for example Medical doctors (STEM) (1.2b), Forensic science (STEM) (4.1b), Forecasting the weather (STEM) (6.5b), Building robots (STEM) (9.4b) and Designing structures (STEM) (10.5b).
The book's own title for the cover story, "Under the skin", sets the tone: the cover tells how scientists study the poison of a bright frog to design new medicines. That is a good example of what the series tries to do, which is to connect a science idea to something real.

Biology, chemistry, physics: how the chapters link
- Biology (chapters 1 to 3, pages 5–52). From the cell to the whole body (cells, tissues, organs, organ systems), then muscles and bones, then ecosystems. The medical lessons (Doctors past and present, Transplants, Artificial limbs, Drugs and sport) connect with the body chapters.
- Chemistry (chapters 4 to 7, pages 53–116). Mixtures and separation come first, with Chromatography, Distillation and Safe drinking water. Acids and alkalis follow, with safety lessons (Hazards, Controlling risk, Danger at home). Then the particle model explains why mixtures and gases behave as they do, and the last chapter introduces atoms, elements and molecules.
- Physics (chapters 8 to 11, pages 117–180). Energy, current electricity, forces and sound. The energy chapter has lessons on food, fuels and other resources, and the electricity chapter ends with A world without electricity.
How to use the student book
- Read lesson by lesson. Each lesson is a short block. Take one lesson, write three sentences about it and answer any questions your teacher sets.
- Do the WS lessons with a pencil and ruler. They teach graphs, safety and fair tests that practical work needs.
- Treat the STEM lessons as extension, a way to see science at work.
- Keep the glossary (page 181) open and add every new term to your own list.
- Use the periodic table (page 189) in chapter 7.
A plan for the 2027-28 session
| Term | Chapters | Pages |
|---|---|---|
| First | Biology: chapters 1 to 3 | 5–52 |
| Second | Chemistry: chapters 4 to 7 | 53–116 |
| Third | Physics: chapters 8 to 11 | 117–180 |
Each chapter is 16 pages, so a chapter every two weeks finishes the book in about 22 weeks and leaves time for revision and tests. Your teacher will decide the exact order.
