Introduction
The Natural Science 2 Teacher’s Resource Book
provides a wide variety of photocopiable worksheets
designed to broaden and reinforce the concepts
covered in the Natural Science 2 Student’s Book
and Natural Science 2 Teacher’s Book.
The worksheets allow a flexible approach in the
classroom. Students in the same class can be given
different worksheets according to their level: stronger
students can expand on the material learnt in class,
and students needing more support can use the
worksheets to revise when necessary. Students
can also work together to complete the tasks with
stronger peers. Teachers with more contact hours
can make use of the photocopiable materials as and
when they need to. They can be used for revision
purposes, for extension practice,
as progress tests, for assessment or for homework.
There are five categories of worksheets:
Reinforcement, Extension, Assessment,
Investigate! and Science songs. The Answer keys
are provided at the back of the book.

Everybody grows up and changes.
Our bodies change as we grow.
Children grow very fast. Adolescents
grow more slowly. At this stage
