The Schofield and Sims Revision Guides help children to revise for the Key Stage tests (SATs) by guiding them through what they have already learned on a topic-by-topic basis. The guides have been written by teachers and are designed for independent revision at home or at school.

This Key Stage 2 Science revision Guide provides a clear explanation of every topic likely to be covered in the Key Stage 2 science tests. All the topics are linked to the National Curriculum for science and these curricular links are displayed in an easy-to-read Curriculum chart.

The coverage of each topic includes:

examples to support the explanations given
a useful summary of key points to remember
Test yourself questions and answers, to check children's understanding.
illustrations and diagrams that help to make revision simple.

A glossary defines the key words related to the subject.

Helpful tips for tests ensure that children perform to the best of their ability in the tests.
