3-year Scheme of Work This 3-Year Scheme of Work offers a suggested topic order for KS3 using Collins AQA KS3 Science Student Books 1 and 2, assuming that one teacher teaching all three sciences rotates through the sciences to give variety. Other routes through the books are possible if you wish to teach different topics first or to suit timetabling or equipment needs. Note, however, that the suggested route ensures that each term’s content builds upon the previous term’s content and knowledge. The suggested timings are based on covering an average of two Student Book spreads per week, but can be tailored to suit the needs of a particular class or group of students.
