Six half-termly units across one academic year, forming the bridge to GCSE. The abstraction year: the particle becomes the atom, forces become quantities with equations, and variation becomes inheritance. Unit 1a explains the reactivity series Year 8 built from evidence.

The six units:

Ten sections per unit, in the same order every time. Lessons are one row each rather than a page each — enough to teach from, and little enough that a department can actually keep it up. Every unit maps to the statutory programme of study for key stage 3 science (DfE, 2013).

For heads of science, subject leaders, technicians and every teacher who has to deliver it. 41 pages, A4 PDF.

If you use it, a review would be very welcome
