Synopsis
BIOZONE’s full colour, unique, interactive worktext approach encourages direct engagement with the content, allowing students to record their answers within the context of the stimulus material and form a “record of work” for quick and easy revision. Students are encouraged to revisit their written answers via a teacher-led classroom review and improve them if necessary. Practicals have been included to enhance the learning experience and, where appropriate, modern day applications of chemistry concepts have been incorporated into the learning material to bring the subject to life. Throughout the content, students are presented with opportunities to practice modeling, data analysis, interpretation of evidence, and evaluation of information. Students will learn the critical skills needed to be a scientist, both when engaging with the world around them and in the laboratory. Formative assessments are included at the end of each chapter. Features and benefits:
Each chapter opens with clear, achievable learning outcomes for students Key Question provides a focus for each activity Step-by-step ‘How to:’ explanations support students in applying concepts learned to answering questions Important contributions of historic scientists identified Everyday applications of concepts in chemistry clearly explained Practical investigations, with clear objectives and equipment lists QR codes link directly to interactive 3D models Specifically designed summative assessments conclude each chapter
About the Author
Jill began her science career with a degree in biochemistry and, after a short spell in research labs, became a science teacher both in the UK and then New Zealand. She spent many years managing the Royal Society of New Zealand’s academic publishing programme of eight science journals which allowed her to hone her project management and editorial skills. She was also a part of the Expert Advice writing team at the Royal Society of New Zealand, producing science pieces for a public audience. She joined the BIOZONE team in late 2021, as editor.
