Stuart Walker reviews thise set of differentiated books

The curriculum for GCSE students has recently undergone significant changes to make the study of science more applicable and relevant to a wider range of students. One of the major changes has been to remove some scientific course content and shift the focus to a more vocational, skills-based approach to understanding contemporary scientific issues. This set of differentiated books has been written by 15 distinguished authors as an accompanying text for Key Stage 4 students studying the new OCR GCSE Twenty first century science course launched this month.
