The Science Curriculum Centre co-ordinated the work of many teachers and science educators in producing teaching support materials for an exciting new, applications led course, OCR provide a nationally validated assessment which matches the teaching course and recognises and rewards the skills and competencies it promotes, as well as the scientific knowledge and understanding which it delivers. The teaching support materials are published by Heinemann.

For each school year of the course (year 10 and year 11), the following resources are published:

A Student Book, in full colour, which provides full cover of the specified content of the course, in stimulating contexts. The book is interactive, and linked to additional activities provided in the -

Teacher Resource Pack (TRP). This provides an outline scheme of work, teaching notes for managing a wide variety of learning activities, master copies of activity sheets for students, and a guide for technicians, as well as answers to questions in the student book.

CD-ROM: All of the content of the teacher resource pack is available on CD-ROM, in a format which is easily edited to suit the needs of each individual centre or teacher. The disc also contains copy for many alternative or additional activities which can be used for reinforcement or extension of the work in the TRP. A valuable additional resource on the CD is a set of guide-lines on how to adapt activities to meet the needs of students with a variety of different types of learning difficulties.
