This edition has been updated to carefully align to the requirements of the 2025 CED. The presentation of content follows the unit structure of the curriculum, with an additional chapter devoted to science skills. The evidence and data driven approach, along with a highly visual presentation, enables students to develop their skills in critical analysis and develop as independent thinkers.
BIOZONE’s unique, interactive worktext approach encourages direct interaction with the content, allowing students to record their answers within the context of the stimulus material and form a ‘record of work’ for quick and easy revision. This can be revisited and self-corrected to ensure a deeper understanding of concepts.
A wide variety of activities helps develop students’ skills in information analysis and prepares them to think scientifically as they navigate a modern world.
