Introduction
Social Science 2 Teacher’s Resource Book
provides a wide variety of photocopiable worksheets
designed to broaden and reinforce the concepts
covered in the Social Science 2 Student’s Book
and Social 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. Teachers
with more contact hours can use 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. Answer keys are
provided at the back of the book.
