Understanding Biology

Covering the GCSE science courses, this aims to be a student-centred presentation in which an active learning approach is adopted throughout and in which the text is closely linked to illustrative material. The language is aimed at a wide ability range and each chapter is introduced through social, environmental and economic issues, which place the material in context for the student. There are also interactive questions which involve the student in the learning process and boxes which contain modern applications, encouraging understanding and assimilation of biological processes and principles.
