Breakthrough Science

A comprehensive lower-intermediate science textbook covering a wide range of topics, from cutting-edge science and environmental issues to developments that may shape our future, stimulating students' intellectual curiosity. Clear and accessible reading passages of 400- 450 words draw students in with fresh and surprising topics, such as how shark skin could help combat global warming, whether scientists can really make humans invisible, and whether “living clothes” could be the future of fashion. Introductory videos arouse interest in each topic, followed by carefully graded activities covering vocabulary, reading comprehension, listening, and output. Teacher's materials include ready-to-use quizzes for each unit, as well as midterm and end-of-semester exams. PowerPoint slides explaining selected content from the textbook are also included.
