Book Description:
The most comprehensive coverage of the new 214 syllabus for both SL and HL, this completely revised edition gives you unrivalled support for the new concept-based approach to learning, the Nature of Science. The only DP Biology resource that includes support straight from the IB, integrated exam work helps you maximize achievement.
Provide clear guidance to the 2014 changes and ensure in-depth study with accessible content, directly mapped to the new syllabus and approach to learning. This second edition of the highly regarded textbook contains all SL and HL content, which is clearly identified throughout. Options are available free online, along with appendices and data and statistics. – Improve exam performance, with exam-style questions, including from past papers – Integrate Theory of Knowledge into your lessons and provide opportunities for cross-curriculum study – Stretch more able students with extension activities – The shift to concept-based approach to learning , Nature of Science, is covered by providing a framework for the course with points for discussion – Key skills and experiments included.
