How the book is built
The contents show a very regular design. Every chapter has nine lessons, most lessons are two pages long (1.1b starts on page 6, 1.2a on page 8, 1.3a on page 10), and every chapter takes 16 pages. Lessons are labelled with a number and a letter: 1.1a and 1.1b are the two lessons of topic 1.1, and so on. Two kinds of lesson are marked in brackets:
- (WS) – Working Scientifically. These lessons teach skills such as measuring, plotting and judging results. There is one in every chapter, for example Surface area (WS) (1.5a), Pie charts (WS) (4.3b), Fair testing (WS) (5.3b) and Accuracy and precision (WS) (11.3b).
- (STEM). These lessons link science to technology, engineering and mathematics, with one in every chapter, such as Making new foods (STEM) (1.3b), Epidemiology (STEM) (3.3b) and Operating aeroplanes (STEM) (9.5b).
Several chapters open with a lesson whose title points to a real event or situation: Water sports and breathing, The Black Death, Engines, Fireworks, Disaster!, Exploring extremes, Living in extremes and Changing ideas. That can help a student to see a reason to study the chapter before the details begin.

Pairing with the workbook
The Exploring Science 2 Workbook has the same twelve chapter titles, from Food and nutrition to Earth and space. The student book carries the lessons, and the workbook carries the practice pages, so a school may use them together. If your school's list names only one of them, buy only that one.
How to use the student book
- Read the opening lesson of each chapter first. Many of them point to a real event (the Black Death, fireworks, a disaster). Ask "what do I already know about this?" before you go on.
- Do the WS lessons with a pencil and ruler. They teach the skills that the practical work and exam questions need.
- Use the STEM lessons as extension. They are a way to see how scientists and engineers use what is in the chapter.
- Keep the glossary (page 197) open as you read, and add each new term to your own list.
- Use the periodic table (page 206) in the chemistry chapters, especially chapter 6.
A plan for the 2027-28 session
| Term | Chapters | Pages |
|---|---|---|
| First | Biology: chapters 1 to 4 | 5–68 |
| Second | Chemistry: chapters 5 to 8 | 69–132 |
| Third | Physics: chapters 9 to 12 | 133–196 |
Each chapter is 16 pages, so a chapter every two weeks finishes the book in about 24 weeks and leaves time for revision and tests. Your teacher will decide the exact order.
