A complete solution for literacy at Key Stage 2

Glover''s efforts reveal a writer who was more wide-ranging and politically engaged than his current reputation suggests. An Irish Protestant and nationalist, Stoker nonetheless drew his political inspiration from English liberalism at a time of impending crisis, and the tradition''s contradictions and uncertainties haunt his work. At the heart of Stoker''s writing Glover exposes a preoccupation with those sciences and pseudosciences - from physiognomy and phrenology to eugenics and sexology - that seemed to cast doubt on the liberal faith in progress. He argues that Dracula should be read as a text torn between the stances of the colonizer and colonized, unable to accept or reject the racialized images of backwardness that dogged debates about Irish nationhood.

Uses activities and projects to introduce how electricity and magnets work at home and in the everyday world.

Discover what makes machines work, from a popcorn dispenser to a marble-operated clock.

Introduces young readers to the world of sound, from a sonic boom to the faintest of echoes.

Examines the composition and strength of materials, both solid and liquid, and features experiments, including chemical reactions.

Providing an introduction to science, this series presents concepts gradually and simply, and backs them up with experiments and activities that are designed to be both straightforward and enjoyable. The illustrated step-by-step projects are accompanied by colour photographs of real places and objects.
