For over 500 years the University of Cambridge has globally contributed to the development of the sciences through investigation and publishing. Following on from such a heritage is not easy.
Cambridge Science, our new series for Social and Natural Science, is part of the Cambridge Bilingual Programme, together with Life Adventures. In Cambridge Science, we’ve taken expertise science content knowledge and combined it with the experience and creativity of teachers who are actively giving language and Science classes in Spain. Teachers who know what works, what is successful in class and what will be successful for you.
Levels 1, 2, 3 and 5 will be available in 2018, with levels 4 and 6 coming out in 2019. This series is part of the Cambridge Bilingual Programme, with Life Adventures.
Number of Levels
Complete Beginner to Pre Intermediate (Pre A1-B1)
- Specifically written for Spain, Cambridge Science covers the complete LOMCE Natural and Social Science curricula.
- The contents are presented in the format of a scrapbook, closer to the way children learn things out of the classroom. Like a magazine, it includes fun facts and interesting questions to appeal to their natural curiosity.
- Documentary videos introduce the unit content.
- A problem-based methodology: each unit poses a problem-based task which the pupils need to solve by studying the content of the unit.
- Fun and practical experiments and discovery activities aid pupils’ understanding of the main themes and topics. They also encourage and practise collaborative learning.
- Projects give plenty of opportunities for personalisation, creativity and collaborative learning.
- Attitude is everything: specific lessons focus on emotional intelligence (levels 1 and 2).
Where Life meets Science
The Cambridge Bilingual Programme integrates Natural and Social Science with our new course Life Adventures. These three fully integrated courses mutually support each other. What is learnt in English helps understand the Science content, while at the same time the Science courses reinforce language learning.
Cambridge exam preparation
Cambridge Science also includes exam preparation:
- Topic areas of the exams are included in the Science curriculum and mapped in the Teacher’s Resources
- The Review sections in the Pupil’s Book and the Activity Book contain exam style activities
- Exam-type tasks in the unit tests
