Summary:
Edexcel Biology for AS is a full colour textbook with supporting Dynamic Learning CD-ROM, written specifically for the new Edexcel specification. To help students make the transition from GCSE Additional Science, each topic starts at the level required for a Grade C pass and gradually builds up to the depth of coverage required for AS. All chapters begin with Starting points, which summarise the basics to be covered, and end with a Summary to reinforce the key points. Throughout the text there are a wide range of self-assessment questions to encourage comprehension and research, as well as recent past paper Examination questions to help students prepare for the new examination. The chapters follow the order suggested by the concept approach to the course. The Dynamic Learning CD-ROM additionally provides: - Audiovisual tutorials that work through selected problems using a voiceover and animated diagrams, graphs and worked calculations - Extension questions to stretch the most able and extension material explaining some ideas in greater depth - Useful websites linked to each section
