Covering the whole of the new 2016 GCSE Combined Science course, this book is structured around a brand new innovative assessment framework that uses regular check points and tailored intervention to help all students make progress. Written by a team of expert authors for the 2016 OCR specification, this book covers the whole of the new GCSE Combined Science course. It combines clear and comprehensive explanations with a wealth of practice opportunities, and builds the skills that students will need to succeed. * Track students' progress in the new linear GCSE course through a brand new, innovative assessment framework. Teaching is organised into four semesters that function as checkpoints. * Each spread starts with language and ideas at a lower level and increases in complexity, engaging students of all ability levels * Key concept spreads highlight concepts that students must grasp before they can move on * Stipulated practicals spreads in each chapter build and test students' development of the appropriate skills (e.g. analysing, evaluating and applying to different contexts) * Maths skills are embedded throughout the book and tested at the appropriate level * Real-life contexts and applications are included to show the students the relevance of the concepts they are studying * Prepare students for the demands of the new specification with differentiated questions, worked examples and lots of opportunities to practice * Co-teach both Foundation and Higher tier with a single book (the Higher-only content is clearly flagged)
