The electronic book is organised according to the QCA schemes of work for years 5 & 6, with worksheets allocated to each unit. Worksheets feature tables, bar charts, line graphs and keys. The data is drawn from both real children's experiments and secondary sources. Each title comes with two differentiated question sets, and full answers are supplied.

The CDROM contains pdf and Word files allowing you to edit or print as you wish.
