This fully revised series of photocopiable activity books uses a structured, three-tiered approach to cater for gifted and/or talented students working within the regular classroom. There are titles available for: Junior Primary, Middle Primary and Upper Primary. Activities have been presented in a range of interesting and motivating theme books linked to upper primary student outcomes. The Pacemaker Series can be used for advanced students working independently or as an adjunct for topics studied by the class throughout the year.

Pacemaker: Exciting Electrics provides a sound information base on static electricity, non-renewable and renewable power sources, electrical safety and the history of electricity. Students are encouraged to carry out additional research to aid their understanding and make informed decisions about “current” issues. The second half of Pacemaker: Exciting Electrics provides a structured series of experiments involving simple circuits with clear instructions for the independent worker.
