Ann Reddecliffe reviews this textbook and CD-ROM combination

Longman science for AQA: GCSE science year 10 student book, teacher's guide and ActiveTeach

Nigel English (ed)

Harlow: Pearson Education 2006 | Pp254 + 268 | £15.95 + £95.00 + £495.00 | ISBN1 405 83327 0 + 1 405 83332 7 + 1 405 84177 X

The student textbook comes with an accompanying ActiveBook CD-ROM. The book covers the material for B1, C1 and P1 modules, each split into two units that match the AQA specification. The content is organised into double-page spreads, which are attractively laid out in full colour and include questions. Each unit comes with assessment exercises and an investigative skills assessment. The book offers very good coverage of the specification.  

The CD-ROM contains an electronic copy of the text, which allows students to use the book on a PC. There is an extensive glossary, which is much longer than in the book. The CD-ROM also includes a digilist of electronic target sheets and other documents, presentations and spreadsheets that give additional data not available in the textbook.
