Introduction
Longman Science for AQA GCSE Science is the perfect accompaniment to the AQA
Science GCSE specifications. The components work seamlessly together to offer you a fully
supported and differentiated solution to help you deliver AQA Science GCSE specifications
successfully from your first day of teaching.
Series Editor Nigel English has led a team of experienced teachers to ensure that these
materials are the perfect match to the AQA Science GCSE specifications.
This is the Teacher’s Guide that accompanies the course. It contains Schemes of Work and
lesson plans to get you started. The lesson plans include all the detail you would expect
including ideas for starters and plenaries, practicals and ways to integrate How Science
Works into your teaching. We have also included all the answers to the questions from both
the Student’s Book and Copymaster File. In addition we have given you notes on how to
integrate our exciting new ActiveTeach into your lessons.
The course comprises:
Component
Student’s Book An exact match to the AQA Science GCSE specifications. Supports student engagement
with stimulating contexts.
Student’s ActiveBook An electronic copy of the Student’s Book, which contains features such as target sheets
and audio glossaries.
Ideal for homework and revision.
Copymaster File Photocopiable worksheets, practical activities and practice assessment materials.
Completely differentiated to fully support the full range of student ability, materials are
clearly marked to be suitable for Foundation or Higher tier students.
Teacher’s Guide A source of lesson plans, teacher’s and technician’s notes, coursework help and of
course full answers!

Course Structure
The materials follow the pattern laid
down in the AQA Biology, Chemistry
and Physics GCSE specifications. The
content is divided into three units.
Student’s Books
Each unit has two context pages. These single pages help to
introduce the unit, explain the context and set the objectives for
the work ahead. Each subsequent topic is covered by one double
page spread in the Student’s Book. These double pages contain the
following features:
•
Title
•
Learning Objectives These
clearly explain what students
should be able to do by the end
of the topic. They are matched
to the target sheets found in
the Copymaster File (see below)
and are directly related to the
statements in the AQA Biology,
Chemistry and Physics GCSE
specifications.
•
Key scientific words have been
highlighted in the text. They can
also be found in a glossary at
the end of each unit.

AQA GCSE Extension Units Teacher’s Guide © Pearson Education Limited 2007
At the end of each unit you will find a double page spread of sample questions. Sample
questions provided are short answer questions reflecting the type of assessment that
students will be given throughout the course.
There are also two sample Individual Student Assessments (ISA) for each unit. ISAs
require students to analyse data from a practical they have carried out in class and then
answer questions on a related experiment. You will find that the ISAs provided in the
Student’s Book provide students with the opportunity to answer some practice questions
written in the style of an ISA. The full ISA can be found in the Copymaster File.
For completeness we have included practicals not mentioned as potential ISA material
by the AQA Biology, Chemistry and Physics GCSE specifications. This has been done to
ensure that students have something relevant to work on in each unit.
A glossary is provided at the end of each unit listing key words for the unit.
•
Higher tier Content directly
related to higher tier
specification statements are
indicated by a small H icon
next to the Learning objective
and content.
•
ActiveTeach icon Any links in
the ActiveBook or ActiveTeach
are indicated in the print version
by these icons. The links provide
a wealth of activities, which will
help to enrich your teaching. For
more details on the ActiveTeach
see pages 4–5.
•
How Science Works Material on
How Science Works is included
throughout the text. This icon
indicates major links to such
material. Where the whole topic is
related to How Science Works there
is a small HSW icon next to the
Learning Objectives at the start.
•
Questions can be found
throughout the text. They
become increasingly difficult.
•
Summary exercise The answer
to the last question in the topic
summarises the whole of the
topic. The exercise will also be
useful for revision.
