Marshall Cavendish Education Matters and Discover series
Physics, Chemistry and Biology
The new edition of the Marshall Cavendish Education (MCE) Matters and Discover series
for Physics, Chemistry and Biology is aligned to the latest GCE ‘O’ Level syllabuses, and
the GCE ‘O’ Level Science and N(A) Level Science syllabuses respectively released by
Ministry of Education (MOE), Singapore for use in 2023.
The latest series reflects the curriculum shifts in the new science curriculum framework
such as the emphasis on Science for Life and Society, Practices of Science, VEA (Values,
Ethics and Attitudes) and Disciplinary Ideas. It seeks to nurture future-ready learners
who understand the relevance of science to the world around them and encourages
them to be inspired, to inquire and to innovate.
Building on the strengths of the previous edition, this latest edition of the Matters and
Discover series continues to adopt a visual approach and offer rich resources to make
teaching and learning easy and simple. It is now designed for hybrid learning and
supports the development of self-directed digital learners.

Hybrid Solution for Onsite and Offsite Learning
Experiences at the Same Time
Teaching and learning are no longer restricted to the classroom today, and many schools
have incorporated home-based learning (HBL) as part of their school curriculum. In
addition, some lessons are conducted in class with some students attending remotely
from home. Therefore, the Matters and Discover series are designed to offer teachers
and students the flexibility of using the resources seamlessly onsite and offsite at the
same time.

Research-based Solution That Provides an
Effective Teaching and Learning Pathway
The series is underpinned by the 3Cs with 1E Pedagogical Approach of Capturing

Interest, Constructing Understanding, Consolidating Learning and Enrichment. This
approach is guided by findings of Mind, Brain and Education Science (MBE Science) as
well as the established 3Cs Inquiry Framework by local researchers, Dr Poon et al.
Our series uses a multi-modal and multi-sensory approach to support effective learning
for diverse student profiles. To help students better visualise abstract concepts, the
content is represented using rich infographics in the Textbooks, and videos, animations
and simulations in the eBooks.

Metals are grouped on the left-hand side of each period. Non-metals are grouped
