Author Description

Student workbooks are designed to support your teaching and help your students skills development.Each topic covers 5-6 key topics in AS or A2 biology and concludes with synoptic questions drawing together different elements of the subject area. Each topic is relevant to the main specifications and comprises: 2 pages of background material(eg short descriptions and diagrams of biological processess) giving an overview of the topic; and 4-5 pages of related exercises designed to develop and test student skills, using the background material and additional resources, with space provided for written answers. The workbooks are designed for systematic classroom use to support your own scheme of work, so you can either be guided by the structure of the workbook or use it as it corresponds to your own teaching programme. However, it is expected that students will tackle the topics in order as they will need to carry knowledge forward into each new topic area. The questions in the exercises take various forms. They have been written to help students develop skills that will serve them well in their exams, rather than to reflect the exam structure or test knowledge recall. Answers to the exercises are provided in an accompanying set of Teachers Notes.The notes serve as a guidance to teachers on what to expect from student responses, so where there is no objectively 'right' answer, the notes identify the key points that should appear in the answer.Student workbooks are available only in class sets of 10, priced at £35 per set plus postage and packing. Each set of workbooks includes one FREE copy of the Teachers Notes.
