DESCRIPTION

Extensive research through lesson observations, teacher interviews and work with our online research community (the Cambridge Panel) means that this flexible range of resources meets the real teaching needs of the chemistry classroom. This workbook with digital access is the perfect companion for the coursebook. The resource reinforces learning, promotes application of theory and helps students practise the essential skills of handling data, evaluating information and problem solving. The workbook includes formative exercises, mapped directly onto the coursebook. For each chapter, a range of exercises builds on the topics and concepts that have been introduced. It includes exam command terms throughout to help familiarise students with their appropriate use. Questions include a skills focus that require students to draw graphs or provide workings. Answers to the workbook are included in the digital version and the teacher’s resource. This workbook is designed to support the coursebook, with specially selected topics where students would benefit from further opportunities to apply skills, such as application, analysis and evaluation in addition to developing knowledge and understanding. (The Workbook does not cover all topics in the Cambridge International AS & A Level Chemistry syllabus (9701)).
