Provide all the independent practice needed for your Springboard Science
course with over 1000 questions in each Practice Book.
Designed to be used alongside our Knowledge Book, our Practice Books
provide shed loads of practice (SLOP) for students to consolidate, apply and
extend the knowledge that they have learnt.
With decades of teaching experience and extensive knowledge of applying
cognitive science in the classroom, you can trust our author team to have
created carefully crafted and varied questions for independent practice.
• Improve students’ long-term retention. Spacing is built in throughout this
Practice Book, improving retention over time.
• Highlight connections between topics and Sciences. Interleaving of
content encourages students to recognise and focus on the connections,
similarities, and differences across science, enabling them to reflect on their
learning in more depth.
• Build confidence in the key skills. Question sets include coverage of the
key mathematical and working scientifically skills that students need to
understand, ensuring that this knowledge is embedded throughout their
independent practice.
• Support every student. Links to the relevant worked examples in the
Knowledge Book are highlighted throughout each unit for easy reference.
• Prepare for the next step. Questions increase in difficulty throughout
each topic, enabling students to progress through the KS3 curriculum and
prepare for KS4 and beyond.
Answers are available online for free and also embedded into the lesson
presentations in our Boost digital teaching and learning resources for easy inclass independent practice review.
