You’ll spend your WHOLE LIFE in your body. So it’s only fair you know how it works, right? This book will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know about the machine that is YOU. From your astonishing brain to your hard-working heart. Get ready for the BIG questions, like: How many muscles do you move playing Fortnight? (A twitch of a thumb on the controller uses TEN muscles) Are chillis actually HOT? (Short answer: no. We’ve been fooled by a plant.) How far can we sneeze? (Your sneeze droplets can reach up to eight meters – which means you could sneeze over an entire class.) You’ll also meet people like Chevalier Jackson, who collected things that people had swallowed by accident (for science, of course). And learn about why we poo (and why it smells). Packed with facts, history and humour, this beautifully illustrated book, from global bestselling science and history author Bill Bryson (ask your mum, he’s the one with the beard), will help you understand the secrets to our bodies and brains.

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.
