With its colourful, content-based approach and built-in progression, "Starting Science" has long been a firm favourite of teachers and students in Scotland. As the new 5-14 Guidelines come into effect, we want you to be sure you can still get all you need out of the books you enjoy using. That's why we have produced a new edition especially for Scotland. "Starting Science for Scotland: Students' Book 1" is the first of two volumes of science for the age-range 12-14 years. It follows the Scottish science curriculum but would be suitable for any course at this level.
