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: strongerstudents 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.



Science songs worksheets

There are four Science songs worksheets to complement

the songs recorded on the Class Audio CD. The songs can

be used with these worksheets or played as background

music while students work in class.

Answer keys

They are provided at the back of this Teacher’s Resource Book.

Investigate worksheets

The ten Investigate worksheets provide additional opportunities

for students to carry out simple investigative tasks either in the

classroom or at home.

The sugar beet travels in a big lorry. When

it arrives at the sugar factory, a factory

worker grinds it to extract all the sugar.

The sugar manufacturer sells the sugar to

another factory. There, the sugar is mixed

with different fruit flavours. Sweets are

made with the new mixture.

Finally, the sweets travel in a big lorry

Mountains in the mist

Have you ever been to the Canary Islands? The

climate there is hot and it rains very little. Inspite of this, there are beautiful green forests on

some of the islands.

Winds from the east, called trade winds, bring

clouds from the sea. The clouds reach the

mountains of the Canary Islands. These clouds don’t release rain but they

produce a thick mist that covers the plains and the valleys. The trees, the

plants and the ground get very wet. The drops of water collect on leaves

and fall to the ground. They form little streams that water the plants. And

that’s how it is possible to find a big forest in a place with little rain.

However, at night, there was no Sun in the sky.

The first water clock was found in the tomb

of a pharaoh in Egypt but we don’t know who

invented it.

Water clocks used the flow of water to measuretime. They consisted of two stone pots placed

at different levels. The pot at the top was filled

with water. The water slowly dripped through a small hole into the lower

pot. The times were marked on the inside of this pot. In this way people

could tell the time by the water level in the lower pot.
