This AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy Biology Student Book (ebook edition) has been brought right up-to-date to meet the needs of today's students. As well as clear and accessible explanations and diagrams, covering all of the required GCSE Biology knowledge and skills, this student book uses current research and evidence to go into even more depth. Carefully-picked and diverse examples give each topic contexts that students can relate to, helping them to make invaluable connections across the specifications and more widely.
And there's more! Metacognitive strategies, helping students to learn about learning, have been included throughout, so students develop independent learning skills to become resilient and successful learners.
This approach is across all of the AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy Student Books.
