Used in conjunction with the related materials for AQA GCSEs in Science and Additional Science, this suite of resources provides the extension units in biology, chemistry and physics required by students who want to study for GCSEs in the separate sciences.
The student's book and accompanying ActiveBook CD-ROM, which offers a digital interactive version of the text, is something of a curate's egg. Impressive elements include some of the images, particularly in the chemistry section, and the boxes which describe what students should be able to do by the end of the topic (these are useful for identifying learning outcomes and tracking student progress). I also liked the obvious links between science and everyday life, and the way that questions referred to photographs of everyday events.
