A wonderful comparative introduction to animals and humans for
children which is written in Charles Kovacs's warm and expressive
style. Charles Kovacs taught in Edinburgh so there is a Scottish
flavour to the animals discussed in the first half of the book,
including seals, red deer and eagles. In the later chapters, he
covers elephants, horses and bears. This is a fascinating and
engaging resource for teachers and home schoolers which is used in
the Steiner-Waldorf curriculum for 9-11 year olds.

THE RECORD-BREAKING NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER FROM THE UK'S BESTSELLING
NON-FICTION AUTHOR. Discover all the weird and wonderful things
that go on inside your body with Adam Kay. Covers key stage 2 / 3
human biology syllabus (in a slightly repulsive way). 'Hilarious
and fascinating! I wish Adam had been my biology teacher' - Konnie
Huq Do you ever think about your body and how it all works? Like
really properly think about it? The human body is extraordinary and
fascinating and, well . . . pretty weird. Yours is weird, mine is
weird, your maths teacher's is even weirder. This book is going to
tell you what's actually going on in there, and answer the really
important questions, like: Are bogeys safe to eat? Look, if your
nose is going to all that effort of creating a snack, the least we
can do is check out its nutritional value. (Yes, they're safe. Chew
away!) And how much of your life will you spend on the toilet?
About a year - so bring a good book. (I recommend this one.) So sit
back, relax, put on some rubber gloves, and let a doctor take you
on a poo (and puke) filled tour of your insides. Welcome to Kay's
Anatomy*. *a fancy word for your body. See, you're learning
already. 'The sort of book I would have loved as a child' - Malorie
Blackman 'Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about'
- The Times 'Absolutely packed with facts... Entertaining and
highly informative' - Daily Mail 'As brilliant, and revolting, as
the human body it celebrates' - The i newspaper 'Totally
brilliant!' - Jacqueline Wilson 'If only this funny and informative
book had been around when I was too embarrassed to teach my kids
about bodily functions' - David Baddiel

TV scientist Ben Garrod presents the biggest extinction events
ever, told from the point of view of evolution's superstars, the
most incredible animals ever to swim, stalk, slither or walk our
planet. Whether you're 9 or 90, his unique exploration of the most
destructive, yet most creative, force in nature makes top level
science fun. Here are the superstars of the story of life, from the
super-weird to the super-ferocious. Usually a species has 10
million years or so of evolving, eating, chasing, playing, maybe
doing homework, or even going to the moon before it goes extinct.
Thylacine was super-hunted. Wiped out by humans. The last wild
thylacine was shot in 1930, and the last captive one died in 1936.
We humans are the only species with the power to eliminate other
species from the story of life. But who are the winners and losers?

evolving, eating, chasing, playing, maybe doing homework, or even
going to the moon before it goes extinct. Lisowicia was
super-sized. Weighing in at 9 tonnes, it was one of the largest
animals roaming the planet during the Late Triassic. It was a kind
of cross between a reptile and a mammal, but not quite either! What
did Lisowicia eat, how and where did it live and what caused the
complete disappearance of this animal which lay undiscovered for
over 200 million years? 'Eye-opening science with striking artwork'

For one revision guide, Oxford Revise for KS3 Science does many
things. Each topic is explored following a simple three-step
approach of knowledge, retrieval and practice. This approach is
based on cognitive science principles and enables pupils to start
to lock in their learning into their long-term memory. Key
knowledge is comprehensively covered within Knowledge Organisers
that are clear and accessible and designed with the cognitive load
of the learner always in mind. As students work their way through
the guide, they are encouraged to make links between the topics.
Sets of retrieval questions follow to check and secure students'
knowledge retention. Students can quickly see how well they have
understood the topic and the areas that may need more study or
support. The last step is for students to put their knowledge into
practice with a variety of different practice questions. These
range in difficulty giving all students the chance to test
themselves and attempt more challenging questions. This guide
establishes revision as a vital part of the learning process. The
structure supports the development of revision as a positive habit
and reduces stress when preparing for exams and assessments
throughout their science journey.
