Why has the website changed?
The Exploring Science website has been extended to include more materials for both editions of the course. There is a whole range of materials - over 1,300 resources, and offers fantastic value. In order to maintain a high level of support, we are having to introduce a charge for the website.

For more about what is included on the companion website, see About Exploring Science

Why don't some of the links work?
The website is developing all the time. So that you can see what we are planning to include, we have included tables with all headings, but only the underlined ones are linked to the relevant documents. New material is being added every week.

A pdf is a special type of document that is used to deliver high-quality documents (e.g. worksheets) for printing out over the Internet. We make use of these so that we can ensure that the materials supplied on this website reach you looking as intended.
