A NEW series that reflects the key changes to the VCE Study Design and delivers students ALL they need to know for success.

What do students really need to know to succeed in VCE Biology?
Written by an author team of practising teachers, Cambridge Senior Science Biology VCE Units 1&2 and Units 3&4 provides a focus on the essential elements of the new Study Design to allow students to efficiently grasp the subject and prepare for exams.

• Written from the ground up, this new series demonstrates the interconnectedness of the topics and focuses on helping students understand and retain the key elements of the subject without overwhelming them with inessential content they won’t be assessed on.

• Students will be kept on track through the use of learning intentions matched to the Study Design at the start of each chapter, teamed with a success criteria checklist at the end of the chapter ensuring they meet the syllabus requirements. The content includes check-in questions that provide formative assessment, as well as section and chapter review questions to provide summative assessment of students’ learning. Skills sections throughout provide advice on how to approach tasks and exam questions. Modelling of logbook entries helps guide students through each entry in an investigation.

• Comprehensive digital resources, fully integrated with the print book, offer students revision of prior knowledge, opportunities for independent learning and self-assessment, and provide teachers with a wide range of time-saving downloadable assessment tasks and support materials.

• Teachers are supported to transition to the new Study Design by comprehensive coverage of the new inclusions and changes. Downloadable pracs and editable documents are provided for experiments, open-ended investigations or ideas for activities that will meet the requirements of the science investigation skills component of the Study Design.

• The new Exam-generator enables teachers to create custom practice exams from a bank of past VCAA questions (and VCAA-style questions). Exams can be completed online (for multiple-choice sections) and auto-marked, or printed and taken in exam conditions or used for revision.
