Year 9 Physics (13-14 yrs) and Workbook by JK Smith

With over 30 years of teaching science experience, Jeff K Smith wrote his Science Series to fill the void of easily understandable, well-written and enjoyable textbooks on the subject.

This Year 9 (13-14 yrs) Physics textbook aligns with the Cambridge curriculum and comes with a comprehensive workbook to guide the student through the course.

Year 9 Physics is a 145-pages, full-coloured textbook with a unique twist: all key physics words are fully defined including their Greek, Latin or Arabic roots. Add to this a comprehensive glossary. Moreover, the book comes with a 42-pages workbook which takes the student through the textbook step by step. The workbook includes extensive exercises and fun drills for the student to do to ensure he or she has a full grasp of the subject.

Because the textbook and its accompanying workbook are laid out perfectly for self-study, it is a perfect combination for homeschooling, and the book is not limited by age. For example, if your child is only 8 or 9 but can easily get through the workbook, then there is no limit! Conversely, the same applies for older children or even adults. Age is not a limit and should not be used for comparison. What is important is achieving a full understanding of the subject, no matter the age, child or adult!

This is a digital download in PDF format. You are able to print for your own use only e.g. printing the workbook to sign off each step, but not for distribution or resale.
