I work as a science teacher in a school. I have used this software and i think that it is outstanding. It covers the whole of Key stage 3 and it can be used for lower ability key stage 4 students.

The price is normally under £10 and is well worth it. The software could easily improve a students sat level provided the student worked through the exercises on a regular basis.

I work as a science teacher in a school. I have used this software and i think that it is outstanding. It covers the whole of Key stage 3 and it can be used for lower ability key stage 4 students.
It is extremly simple to use. It is engaging and interactive. It has a quiz and test for each mini topic. It has all the core notes that you will need for Key stage 3.
It also has interactive activities such as drag and drop and it has the capability to reproduce practical experiments.
The price is normally under £10 and is well worth it. The software could easily improve a students sat level provided the student worked through the exercises on a regular basis.
The software is extremly easy to use it runs directly from the cd-rom.
The only problems that i have found with the software is you need to allow pop-ups as the software runs in internet explorer. You also need to go to the global security settings for macromedia and make sure that you select allow as sometimes macromedia blocks this program.
The cd-rom also comes with mock exam papers and answers for students to pracice.
When you start the program it is split into three main sections:
Life process and living things (biology) Materials and their properties (chemistry) Physical processes (physics)
These main sections then split down into smaller topics. The cd-rom has a quiz and a mini test for each small section. It is also has interactive activities for each smaller section. There really is loads of information here.
Life processes and living things covers the following areas:
Life processes and cells Plant and human organ systems Nutrition and food tests The digestive system Getting to the heart of the matter Blood and the circulatory system Skeleton, muscles and joints The lungs and breathing Adolescence and the menstrual cycle Reproduction Drugs, Solvents, alcohol and tobacco Fighting disease Photosynthesis Plant reproduction The carbon and Nitrogen cycles Classification Variation Food chains and webs Adaption and competition
The materials and their properties covers the following items:
Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks The rock cycle Pollution of the atmosphere States of matter Dissolving Particle theory Atoms and elements Metals Unusual metals and non-metals The rusting of iron Reactivity series Metal sisplacement reactions Acids and alkalis Making salts Common tests and apparatus Mixtures Separation techniques Compounds Naming compounds Balancing equations
Physical processes covers:
Speed Graphs of motion Forces Friction and air resistance Moments Pressure Light rays and reflection Refraction and colour Sounds Echoes and hearing Energy Using energy resources Alternative sources of energy Heat transfer Circuit diagrams and components Circuits - current and voltage Magnetism and electromagnetism The earth in space
