Based on the Edexcel KS3 History Scheme of Work, Exploring History is a KS3 course specifically designed to prepare students to start studying Edexcel GCSE (9-1) History. The engaging resources build the background knowledge, conceptual understanding and writing skills to help students progress to GCSE study.

Exploring History Student Book 2: Cavaliers, Colonies & Coal contains all the content in Year 8 of the 3-year Edexcel KS3 History Scheme of Work, covering the reformation through to the late 19th Century. Full of contemporary images and sources to engage students and bring the History to life, it also includes carefully structured activities and questions that will gradually move students towards GCSE-style questions.
