GCSE Science Skills Booster

This book is a timely development in the wake of the agreement between exam boards on the technical terms to be used for the key concepts in How Science Works (HSW). This cross-specification text seeks to illustrate the role of different aspects of HSW by illustrating them with relevant stories. These range from Ig Nobel Prize-winning research to the work of the Islamic scholar Ibn al Haytham. The book uses a range of such contexts, the majority of which will be credible to students of the target age.
