KS3 science
KS3 science, from Year 7 to the GCSE handover
There is no exam board at KS3 - UK and international schools follow the same national curriculum - so nothing here is filed by specification. It is filed by year group and by science, which is how a KS3 timetable is actually built.

What the KS3 library covers
KS3 has no exam boards: the national curriculum is the same in UK and international schools, so resources are organised by year group - Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 - and by science instead.
- Particle model
- Atoms, elements and compounds
- Acids, alkalis and pH
- Cells
- Photosynthesis and plants
- Ecology and ecosystems
- Forces and motion
- Electricity
- Space
Why it works
Written for how KS3 is actually taught
Three sciences, one library
Chemistry, biology and physics sit side by side. A KS3 teacher covering all three is not searching three sites and reformatting between them.
Filed by year, not by key stage
Every resource carries Year 7, Year 8 or Year 9, because KS3 is three years of a curriculum that builds - and “somewhere in KS3” is not a filter.
Written towards GCSE
KS3 is where the habits that make GCSE hard get set: equations written properly, particles drawn properly. The Year 9 material is written with the course it feeds into in mind.
Resource types
