The resources 

The activity sheets form the core of the course. They are supported (for teachers and technicians) by the teachers' guide and, for students, by the pupils' book. Sometimes the pupils' book presents a context from which the activities arise: sometimes it provides applications of science studied in the activities. There are many questions in both the activity sheets and the pupils' book. The suggested activities are varied. They include practical investigations, teacher demonstrations, guided reading, purposeful writing, discussion and debate.
