This is a post-Dearing 14-16 science course designed to support students, teachers and technicians, combining a traditional approach with some innovative features. The pupils' books explain science in an easy-to-understand way, including up-to-date examples of science in everyday life and recent advances in scientific research. It also provides students with the opportunity to examine scientific advances in historical and social contexts. Summaries of experiments help students understand what they are doing and why, and revision summaries help with exam preparation. Additionally, the questions in the book include "as-you-go" testers as well as exam-style questions for practice and homework.
