Great resource - Rated
If your school is low on resources and you have to ask the head for one science book - this should be the one as it covers all areas, easily digested by the students, visual and fun to read. I would thorougly recommend it. Although would be nice if they re-did the format to change it as has been the same for years!

High quality and good value set of practice tests - Rated
This folder provides six full sets of KS2 science practice papers: three sets of two. Answers are provided, so you can check how you are doing. The questions are clear, the graphics well printed (just like real tests!), with plenty of diagrams and spaces to write in your answers. Each paper also comes with a table where you can compare your scores if you take a paper more than once.

Conclusion: an excellent-value set of maths practice papers for children preparing to take Key Stage 2 science exams.

KS2 Science: Study Book - Rated
Once a super book but sadly out of touch with new SATS.Of Limited use except its cheap but needs to be retired.I bought this book in the hope it would help my son.Sadly its outdated doesnt meet the needs of the current children.Parents dont be fooled by its colourfulness.Cheap cheerful but way off the mark.

Entertains and educates - Rated
A revision guide which is both comprehensive and so well-written that children actually enjoy using it.

I'm a big fan of the CGP study guide series, and the KS 2 Science Study book is no exception. The children of the household have worked their way through it without complaint ("I think it's good" - genuine feedback) and the colourful, well-designed pages and humour are about as far from a dusty textbook as you can get.

We've also bought the KS 3 Science Revision Guide and associated work books and SATs practice papers. That's how good they are.

A Great Study Guide For Those Pesky SAT's - Rated
It was a long while ago now since i was studying for my Key Stage Two SAT's but i can still remember just how good this book was, and how it helped me through my revision.

The book is split into three main sections; Life Processes & Living Things, Materials & Their Properties, and Physical Processes. Each of these sections is then split down into each individual topic, for example under the first section Life Processes & Living Things, you would find the stuff about life cycles.

At the end of each main section there is a page of summary questions to check that you have learned all the stuff properly. This is so you can see your weaker areas and can go back and revise that bit again.

There is a good contents page, and a detailed index, which some revision guides don't have. This means that if there is somthing percific that you are looking for, you don't have to spend ages searching through the whole book.

There are some revision guides that have the infomation written out really boring and unimaginative with no pictures apart from the occasional diagram. This is an acception however, and all the infomation is set out in a fun enjoyable manner, which makes revising just that little bit easier. There are also loads of wacky pictures, related to what ever topic you are revising.

If you are looking for a fun revision guide to help you through those terrible tests, then this is a must have and you are sure to get a good grade if you use this to it's full potential.
