Written by Steve Potter and revised by a senior examiner, Martin Rowland, this AQA AS/A2 Biology Student Unit Guide is the essential study companion for Units 3 and 6: Investigative and Practical Skills in Biology. This full-colour book includes all you need to know to prepare for your Unit 3 and Unit 6 assessments: clear guidance on the range of practical apparatus and techniques that you need to know about and an overview of the scientific method of testing ideas by experimentation examiner's advice throughout, so you will know what to expect in the assessments and will be able to demonstrate the skills required sample investigation tasks for extra practice before your assessments

Developed for the new International A Level specification, these new resources are specifically designed for international students, with a strong focus on progression, recognition and transferable skills, allowing learning in a local context to a global standard. Recognised by universities worldwide and fully comparable to UK reformed GCE A levels. Supports a modular approach, in line with the specification. Appropriate international content puts learning in a real-world context, to a global standard, making it engaging and relevant for all learners. Reviewed by a language specialist to ensure materials are written in a clear and accessible style. The embedded transferable skills, needed for progression to higher education and employment, are signposted so students understand what skills they are developing and therefore go on to use these skills more effectively in the future. Exam practice provides opportunities to assess understanding and progress, so students can make the best progress they can.

Laboratory and field studies are essential areas of undergraduate training in biology; practical work must be fully understood and effectively presented, but many students under-perform because they lack basic laboratory skills. The fifth edition continues to provide you with easy-to-use guidance for laboratory and field studies and broader transferable skills. It also offers you new material on subjects ranging from environmental investigations to writing a project proposal. It is the ideal text for you to rely on throughout your undergraduate course.

This volume provides a summary of the findings that educational research has to offer on good practice in school science teaching. It offers an overview of scholarship and research in the field, and introduces the ideas and evidence that guide it.
