Publisher's Synopsis
This core pupil's book for all abilities is part of a series written by teachers and SHP examiners that is designed to meet the requirements of the revised GCSE syllabuses. Each book in the series provides a source-based active learning approach, and some of the units are approached through asking key questions, or focusing on important issues or controversies. At the end of each unit in the pupil's book, there is an exam practice section that provides questions which cover the assessment objectives outlined in the GCSE syllabus. There are also summary boxes to aid revision. This book adopts a chronological approach to the subject of medicine through time, developing the themes of anatomy and surgery, disease and its treatment, doctors and nurses, and public health and welfare. There is also a foundation edition which is aimed at lower attainers and has a simplified text. The teacher's resource pack contains mark schemes for selected questions in the pupil's book, tips and advice on GCSE exams, and activities, to stretch more able students and to help lower achievers. There are also examiners' comments on student responses, to help pupils understand what is expected of them in the exam and to give them confidence when answering questions. The pupil's book and teacher's resource pack can also be bought together in an evaluation pack.
