All you need to know, with no inessential content, delivered in a way that demonstrates the interconnectedness of the subject while guiding students to VCE success.
Comprehensive coverage of the new Study Design
The authors have thoroughly reviewed the new Study Design to ensure the series reflects changes such as:
The new Study Design for VCE Biology emphasises the interconnectedness of each topic. In response, this new series makes use of a storyline approach that scaffolds learning and allows students to recognise the connections between topics and build a better mental map of the course – promoting better recall of concepts.
Concept maps and links forward and back in the margin of the text are utilised in the print and digital textbook to support these connections.
Success criteria and checklists give students greater control over their progress
Success criteria matched to the Study Design are provided at the beginning of each chapter detailing what students need to know and do to meet the syllabus requirements.
The success criteria are repeated in an end-of-chapter checklist linked to questions in the Chapter Review, allowing students to tick achievement against the criteria when they can answer questions correctly.
Unparalleled digital resources for teaching and learning
The comprehensive, integrated digital resources provide extensive support for teachers and give students the flexibility to move between classroom and remote learning.
