NEW in this edition:

• Explicitly aligned to the new syllabus, each chapter covers 1-2 content groups of a focus area to give teachers confidence they are covering all the requirements.
• Content covering topics such as sustainability, climate change, and ethics, helps students align science theory with real-world needs and challenges.
• Valuable support for the new Depth study requirements includes a depth study guide at the end of each staged book with over 50 ideas from the course content to inspire students for their own depth study. Examples of different depth study formats and structures are also included along with a checklist and template.

• Explore! activities, including new secondary-source investigations that ask students to discover, examine and use secondary data and information, are integrated throughout the text to help students develop their analysis skills.
• The new data science requirements are addressed in the appendix at the end of each staged book and clearly signposted throughout, with data questions at the end of each chapter to help students apply their understanding and challenge them to analyse and interpret different forms of scientific data.
• The extensively revised Working Scientifically chapter in each book incorporates Nature of Science and Practice of Science content and outcomes, as well as new pseudoscience content in Science Communication to help students build skills in evaluating sources and drawing conclusions as they undertake tasks and assessments. Practical Skills boxes are also included throughout to ensure students are equipped with the essential skills they need to successfully complete the practical investigations.
