Gas Happens What To Do When It Happens To You

Everyone passes gas. If it's so natural, why do we struggle with teaching children how to respond appropriately when it happens? Join Gus as he and his classmates learn a brief biology lesson behind why we all pass gas, and the right way to handle it.

Providing material for both the Foundation and Higher tiers of the revised NEAB and WJEC syllabuses, this series is an updated edition of "Modular Science for GCSE". This compendium volume contains six of the 12 modules of the series.

Covers the 2006 Gateway Additional Science specification for all exam boards - AQA, Edexcel and OCR, for students going on to study Additional Science. Part of the "Success" series, this title emphasises the shift from fact learning to investigating and understanding how science works.

The Government must start thinking strategically about energy security to protect the UK's energy supply against short-term shocks and rising global energy prices, according to a report by MPs on the Energy and Climate Change Committee. Gas storage capacity needs to be increased in the UK to minimise the potential damage from supply interruptions or price spikes, the report argues. It reveals that the UK's current storage capacity amounts to only 14 days worth of gas supply - a dangerously low level compared with France which has 87 days worth of gas storage, Germany 69 and Italy 59. 19 gigawatts (GW) of ageing electricity plant will close by 2018 and the UK will become increasingly reliant on energy imports as North Sea oil and gas reserves decline. The report concludes that new electricity generation currently being built or planned will fill this "gap". But it urges the Government to ensure security of supply by delivering on its energy efficiency targets, rolling out smart meters - that can balance demand - and maintaining a diverse energy mix.

This series is focused on delivering custom materials which are designed and presented to meet the needs of enthusiastic and committed students. The resources cover Levels 5-8/EP, and are written for an average reading ability level, but with full and proper use of scientific terminology throughout. The series is written to follow the QCA Scheme of Work, and contains three books that cover combined science materials in Years 7, 8 and 9. The materials demonstrate coverage of ideas and evidence, key skills and ICT, providing bridging material to Key Stage 4. They can be used as a complementary resource for higher ability students in mixed sets or as a stand-alone course in streamed sets.
