Core and Supplement
Your teacher will leU you whether you are studying just the Core part of the Biology syllabus, or whether you arc studying the Supplement as well. If you study the Core only, you will be entered for Papers 1 and 3 and either Paper 5 or 6, and can get a maximum of Grade c. If you also study the Supplement, you may be entered for Papers 2 and 4, and either Paper 5 or 6. and will be able to get a maximum of Grade A*. The Supplement 0 material in this book is marked by a letter ‘S' and brown I bars in the margin, like this.
Definitions
There arc quite a lot of definitions in the 1GCSE syllabus that you need to learn by heart. These arc all in this book, at appropriate points in each chapter, inside boxes with a heading ‘Key definition’. Make sure you learn these carefully.
Questions
Each chapter has several sets of Questions within it. Most of these require quite short answers, and simply test if you have understood what you have just read (or what you have just been taught).
At the end of each chapter, there are some longer questions testing a range of material from the chapter. Some of these are past questions from Cambridge exam papers, or are in a similar style to Cambridge questions. Activities
Each chapter contains Activities. These will help you to develop the practical skills that will be tested in your IGCSE Biology examination. There are more Activities on the CD-ROM. These arc marked with this symbol:
There are two possible exams to test your practical skills, called Paper 5 and Paper 6. Your teacher will tell you which of these you will be entered for. They are equally difficult, and you can get up to Grade A* on either of them. You should try to do the Activities no matter which of these papers you arc entered for. Summary
At the end of each chapter, there is a short list of the main points covered in the chapter. Remember, though, that these are only very short summaries, and you’ll need to know more detail than this to do really well in the exam.
The CD-ROM
There is a CD-ROM in the back of the book. You’ll also find the Summaries on the GD-ROM. You can use the revision checklists on the GD-ROM to check off how far you have got with learning and understanding each idea.
The CD-ROM also contains a set of interactive multiple-choice questions testing whether you know and understand the material from each chapter.
You'll find some self-assessment checklists on the CD ROM too, which you can print off and use to assess yourself each time you observe and draw a specimen, construct a results chart, draw a graph from a set of results or plan an experiment. These arc all very important skills, and by using these checklists you should be able to improve your performance until you can do them almost perfectly every time.
There are some suggestions on the GD-ROM about how you can give yourself the very best chance of doing well in your exams, by studying and revising carefully. There are also some practice exam papers.
Workbook
There is a workbook to go with this textbook. If vou have one, you will find it really helpful in developing your skills, such as handling information and solving problems, as well as some of the practical skills.
The book can also be used with the Cambridge ’O’ level Biology syllabus (5090).
