This print and digital coursebook has been developed from extensive research through lesson observations, interviews and work with our research community (the Cambridge Panel) to meet your specific needs. Activities and questions develop your essential science skills, with a focus on practical work. Exam-style questions give you valuable practice. Projects provide opportunities for assessment for learning, cross-curricular learning and developing skills for life. There are multiple opportunities to engage in active learning, such as role-play activities, discussions and debates. Activities build in complexity to support your learning. The resource is written in accessible language with features to support English as a second language learners.

The third edition fully covers both Core and Extended content through the 'spiral' approach, where students build on their previous learning as they progress through the course. In addition to a wealth of practice questions and support for English as a second language learners, we have included a number of projects to encourage students to put their theory into practice provided by NRICH - a collaboration between the Faculties of Mathematics and Education at the University of Cambridge. Answers are available on Cambridge GO.
