Syllabus: CfE (Curriculum for Excellence, from Education Scotland) and SQA Level: BGE S1-3: Third & Fourth Level Subject: Science Spark your pupils' interest in Science as they develop their curiosity, knowledge and skills across Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Topical Science, from S1 to S3. Covering all CfE Third and Fourth Level Benchmarks for the Sciences, this ready-made and fully differentiated BGE course puts progression for every pupil at the heart of your curriculum. - Help pupils understand the big ideas, concepts and processes in Science: Clear explanations, diagrams and a glossary of key words make the content accessible and engaging for all pupils - Build inquiry, investigative and analytical thinking skills: End-of-topic questions and research tasks enable pupils to apply their knowledge to various problems and contexts - with answers provided at the back of the book - Incorporate cross-curricular Science opportunities: The first unit introduces essential skills for experiments, such as measuring, recording and analysing data, and the last unit contains five Topical Science projects that bring together different strands of learning - Meet the needs of each pupil in your class: The content and activities are designed to ensure accessibility for those with low prior attainment, while extension tasks will stretch and challenge higher ability pupils - Effectively check and assess progress: All activities support formative assessment, helping you monitor progression against the Experiences & Outcomes and Benchmarks (with additional assessments and worksheets in the separate Planning & Assessment Pack) - Lay firm foundations for National qualifications: The skills, knowledge and understanding established through the course will set pupils up for success at National 5 and beyond - Deliver the 'responsibility for all' Es and Os: Plenty of activities that address literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing skills are threaded through the book

Exam Board: SQA Level: Higher Subject: Physics First Teaching: August 2018 First Exam: June 2019 Ensure that students are prepared for every aspect of their Higher Physics assessment with the only textbook that offers comprehensive coverage of the updated SQA syllabus requirements. - Provides clear and comprehensive coverage of the specification with each section of the book matching a unit of the new syllabus and each chapter corresponding to a content area - Supports the 'researching physics' section in an appendix, covering key skills required by physics students and deals with data analysis, what can reasonably be inferred and what cannot, how we arrive at conclusions and what those conclusions mean - Helps students to prepare for exams: each chapter contains examples of numerical, open ended and discursive type questions and combines strong coverage of essential Physics for Higher with new material and innovative teaching approaches

The IGISOL group at the University of Jyvaskyla studies the properties of nuclei far off the line of beta stability. These studies are performed locally at the Jyvaskyla Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line (IGISOL) facility, as well as at a number of other laboratories such as the ISOLDE facility in CERN, at GANIL and in Helmholzzentrum GSI, the location of the future radioactive beam facility FAIR. The group is also actively involved in work to support the development of international future facilities EURISOL and aforementioned FAIR. This book presents carefully selected papers to portrait the work at IGISOL. Previously published in the journals Hyperfine Interactions and European Physical Journal A.
