Summary:
Written by a Chief Examiner and other experienced examiners, the AQA Biology for A2 Student Book and website support the revised AQA Biology specification. Tailored precisely to the revised specification, the Student's Book provides both quick test yourself questions and analysis exercises. These analysis exercises give practice in investigating biological problems and How Science Works, to support investigative and practical skills assessments. Extended chapter openings show how biologists tackle scientific problems, providing a stimulating context and plenty of How Science Works examples.
The book is supported by a students'website providing them with an interactive version of the book enhanced with additional resources:
- Chapter summaries and specification checklists help students see where learning objectives and skills are covered in the book.
- Personal Tutor presentations that work through calculations, difficult concepts and practical and investigative skills using a voiceover and animated diagrams, graphs and worked calculations
