Introduction
Top Science 3 Teacher’s Resource Book provides a range of materials
designed to complement the Student’s Book and the Teacher’s Book.
These materials contribute to the flexible nature of Top Science: students
in the same class can be given worksheets at different levels, or weaker
students can complete the tasks with stronger peers. Teachers with more
contact hours can make use of these photocopiable materials
as and when they need them.
There are three categories of worksheets: reinforcement, extension,
and assessment. Use them for revision purposes, for extension
practice, as progress tests, assessment or for homework.
The worksheets can be photocopied and filed in a folder.

Reinforcement and extension worksheets
There are forty reinforcement worksheets. These materials constitute
a flexible tool: they can be worked on after the relevant section
in the Student’s Book, before the Activities sections, or as extra
preparation for the unit assessment. The answer keys are provided.
There are fifteen double-page extension worksheets, one for each unit
of the Student’s Book. These worksheets can be used for fast
finishers or to extend class work. Depending on the level of the class,
students can complete the worksheets with or without consulting

their Student’s Book. The answer keys are provided.

All vertebrate animals have a skeleton.

Remember

The human skeleton is made up of 206 bones.
Bones have many important functions:

The main parts of the human body are the head, trunk and limbs.

They give the body shape.

Organs make your body function. Organs are inside your body.

They support the body’s muscles.
They support the weight of the body.

They protect the vital organs. For example, the skull protects the brain. The ribs protect
the heart and lungs. The spinal column protects the spinal cord.
