About the Book

This work is fully revised for the new Advanced Level specifications. There are structured practicals offering a stimulating approach to Biology. Exploratory, open-ended investigations help develop ideas and encourages an independent study approach. Students are encouraged to use practical work to gain information that consolidates biology theory. Opportunities for development of Key Skills given throughout.
