Introduction
Top Science 3 Teacher’s Resource Book provides a range of materials
designed to complement the Student’s Book and the Teacher’s Book.
These materials contribute to the flexible nature of Top Science: students
in the same class can be given worksheets at different levels, or weaker
students can complete the tasks with stronger peers. Teachers with more
contact hours can make use of these photocopiable materials
as and when they need them.
There are three categories of worksheets: reinforcement, extension,
and assessment. Use them for revision purposes, for extension
practice, as progress tests, assessment or for homework.
The worksheets can be photocopied and filed in a folder.
Reinforcement and extension worksheets
There are forty reinforcement worksheets. These materials constitute

a flexible tool: they can be worked on after the relevant section
in the Student’s Book, before the Activities sections, or as extra
preparation for the unit assessment. The answer keys are provided.
There are fifteen double-page extension worksheets, one for each unit
of the Student’s Book. These worksheets can be used for fast
finishers or to extend class work. Depending on the level of the class,
students can complete the worksheets with or without consulting
their Student’s Book. The answer keys are provided.

All vertebrate animals have a skeleton.

Remember The human skeleton is made up of 206 bones.
The main parts of the human body are the head, trunk and limbs. Bones have many important functions:
Organs make your body function. Organs are inside your body. They give the body shape.
They support the body’s muscles.
They support the weight of the body.

2 Our sight EXTENSION
Name Date
We can see because our brain interprets the information it receives from our eyes.
First, the eyes capture an image from the outside world.
Then, the eyes convert this information into nerve impulses. Nerve impulses
are small electric currents than run through our nerves.
After that, the nerves carry this information to the brain.
Finally, the brain receives and interprets this information. This is how we see.
Sometimes the brain interprets the information it receives from the eyes in a different
way. This produces an optical illusion: we see something differently from reality.
An optical illusion is not real.
1 Number the illustrations in order.
Explain in your own words how the sense of sight works.

4 How animals
protect themselves from the cold EXTENSION
Name Date
During the winter, the days get shorter

and the temperatures drop. So, animals need
to protect themselves from the cold.
Some animals, such as rabbits, dogs, cats and polar
bears, grow thicker fur to keep them warm.
Some animals hibernate. This means they sleep during
the coldest months of the year. For example, squirrels,
bears, turtles, bats and frogs hibernate and sleep
all winter.
Some animals migrate. This means they travel long
distances to find warmer climates. For example, storks,
antelopes, whales, swallows and ducks migrate.

5 Head-foot EXTENSION
Name Date
Cephalopods are animals such as squids, octopuses and cuttlefish.

These sea creatures are unusual because their feet, which are
actually long tentacles, surround their mouth and are attached
to their heads. Cephalopod means head-foot.
Did you know that the octopus is one of the most intelligent
of all the invertebrates in the marine world? Octopuses also have
excellent eyesight, although they cannot hear.
An octopus’s soft body looks like a large bag. It lives on the ocean
floor, and its eight tentacles help it to move about and catch food.
An octopus moves by jet propulsion: it sucks water in then squirts
it out of its head so fast that it moves through the water!
Octopuses protect themselves in two ways. They squirt dark ink
which blinds their enemies and gives them time to escape. They
also change the colour of their skin so that they blend in with their
surroundings. This helps them hide from their enemies.

What does cephalopod mean?

Are cephalopods vertebrates or invertebrates? Explain.

Are all marine animals invertebrates? Explain.

Name three other animals that can swim.

6 The wheel EXTENSION
Name Date
The wheel is one of the most important inventions

of all time. It changed our means of transport forever.
The wheel is a simple machine that was invented
over 5,000 years ago. It consists of a disk that turns
on an axle. The first wheels were simple disks
made of solid wood. Wheels with spokes were invented
over 1,000 years later.
Later, wheels were made of metal. This allowed heavy
objects to be moved from one place to another.
After that, metal wheels were covered with rubber
and cork. These wheels are still used today because
they are so light and resilient.

7 Flat or round? EXTENSION
Name Date
Today, everybody knows the Earth is round.

However, hundreds of years ago, people believed
the Earth was flat.
When we look at the horizon, from where
we are the Earth seems flat. When we look
up at the Sun, the stars and the planets,
they seem to orbit the Earth. People believed
this was true for a long, long time.
In the 16th century, two navigators from
Portugal and Spain wanted to prove
that the world was not flat. So, they
sailed around the world.
This is how Hernando Magallanes and Juan
Sebastián Elcano proved that the Earth is round.
1 Tick the true sentence.
The Earth is flat.

The Sun, the stars and the planets orbit the Earth.
Navigators from the 16th century proved that the Earth is round.
It is impossible to know the shape of the Earth.

8 How does drinking
water get to our homes? EXTENSION
Name Date
River water collects in reservoirs. This water is not

clean and it is not safe to drink.
First, this water goes to treatment plants through
pipes. Here it is cleaned of impurities.
Once it is safe to drink, this water is distributed
to homes through pipes.
Used water from our homes is collected through a network of sewers.
Then it flows to treatment plants to be cleaned of impurities again.
Finally, the treated water goes back into rivers. Sometimes, it is recycled
and used for watering parks and gardens.

Where is river water collected?
Where is water cleaned?
How is water distributed to our homes?

10 Iceland EXTENSION
Name Date
In the North of Europe, there is a large island called Iceland.

The Vikings lived in this country hundreds of years ago.
Iceland gets its name because it has a lot of glaciers.
Iceland
Iceland is a volcanic island. There are over 30 active
volcanoes on it. It also has many glaciers, hot water
springs and geysers. Geysers look like fountains
of hot water. They are really underground springs of hot
water that shoot jets of water and steam high into the air.
The landscape of Iceland is amazing. Astronauts say that
it looks like the Moon’s landscape because it has so many
craters, lava deserts and plains covered with volcanic ash.
Iceland also has magnificent rivers, waterfalls and fields
covered with green moss. You cannot find those on the Moon!
Spain
Fishing is the most important industry in Iceland. Farming
is difficult because the land is not very fertile and the climate
is also very cold.

How did Iceland get its name?
Look at the map. Where is Iceland?
What are geysers?
Describe the landscape of Iceland.

Explain why agriculture is not an important industry in Iceland.

11 Villages and cities EXTENSION
Name Date
Many towns and villages in Spain are

thousands of years old. However, they
have grown in different ways.
Some developed rapidly and became rich.
Thousands of people from different places
moved there to find jobs. As a result,
these villages grew into cities with tall
buildings, wide streets and industries
and services.
Other villages have not grown. In fact,
some villages are almost empty now.
The villagers have moved away to cities
in search of better opportunities.

Why does the population of a place grow?

Imagine you want to move from a village to a big city. Give three reasons why.

The Guggenheim Museum
The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is one of the most unique museums

in the world. In fact, the building is as beautiful as the art inside!
It was designed by the architect Frank O. Gehry and opened in October, 1997.
The museum has a very imaginative shape: the walls are not straight, they twist and
curve. The building is made of three main materials: titanium, limestone and glass.
The Guggenheim exhibits paintings, sculptures, photographs and clothes,
as well as other unusual types of art. One year, they even had an exhibition
of motorcycles.
