KS3 Science Resource Catalogue

The Science Department recommend the following resources to help support your child’s learning through KS3 Science. Please note that these are merely recommendations and parents should feel under no pressure to purchase all of the resources.

Our Key Stage 3 Science Curriculum has been designed by staff at Walton High School and therefore doesn’t follow a particular book precisely.

AQA Activate for KS3 is designed to support every student on their journey through secondary science with AQA. This Student Book is matched to the AQA KS3 syllabus, and will spark students' curiosity in science, whilst gradually building the maths, literacy and enquiry skills vital for success in the new GCSEs.

These books contain subject content with regular summary questions and end of chapter questions.

The syllabus that we follow at Walton High School is similar to the Activate scheme as we try to best prepare our students for their AQA Science GCSE.
