Welcome to the Key Stage 3 Pages
Key Stage 3 takes you from Year 7 to Year 9. Our Key Stage
3 science courses are organised by modules
of study.
Student work from our Key Stage 3 students can be found here.

(Note: Because the current
Year 9 at Nether Stowe are the last to go through the Spotlight
Scheme, we have taken the decision to not
generate resources for Year 9. Next year, when our Year 9
modules will have changed, we will begin to add resources
to support the new modules. If you are revising for your Key
Stage 3 SATs exams, remember that you need to know the Year
7 and Year 8 stuff too!)

Information about our Key Stage 3 courses
Year 7 & Year 8
(New for 2003-4) Year 7 and 8 are following the
Hodder Science Course. The Hodder Scheme
closely follows the QCA (government-recommended) sequence
of lessons.
The CASE programme
CASE is a programme of Thinking Skills Lessons that students
in Year 7 are given about once every two weeks. CASE lessons
differ from usual science lessons in that the emphasis is
on the students investigating and explaining scientific ideas
on their own. The lessons include a series of structured practical
exercises and thought-experiments. CASE has proven benefits
for the development of students' understanding of science.
Remarkably, students going through the CASE programme also
show improved results in English and Mathematics!
Year 9
Year 9 are currently following the Spotlight Science course.
In 2004 all Key Stage 3 students will be following the Hodder
Scheme.
