Summary

The Complete Biology Workbook provides support for the biology element of the previous Cambridge Lower Secondary Science curriculum. The Workbook is suitable for independent study and helps students to consolidate their learning.

Foreword

Support for the previous Cambridge Lower Secondary Science curriculum

Additional text

Complete Science for Cambridge Secondary 1 is easy to navigate, with each learning topic covered by a double-page spread. Concepts are clearly explained and followed by questions to test students understanding. In addition to these, this book contains end of unit questions to help students prepare for the progress test. And also, Scientific Enquiry sections include advice on carrying out practical work and recording results. Answers to the questions are included on
the Teacher's Resource book and CD-ROM.

Report

We were particularly impressed by the layout, clear language, scientific investigations and that we can link your book chapters clearly to the chapters in our native language books. Fiona Luna, Science Teacher, IES Karlstad, Sweden
