Please note this book is suitable for any student studying:Exam board: OCRLevel: GCSE (9-1)Subject: ChemistryFirst teaching: September 2016First exams: June 2018Twenty First Century Science is a motivating and engaging way to study science at GCSE. These resources will prepare students both for progression to further study of science and to be scientifically minded and informed citizens.The Twenty First Century Science suite will:- Develop students' abilities to critically evaluate data and information, by examining evidence and the arguments that link evidence to conclusions- Link science to issues relevant to all students and to the experiences of everyday life- Develop students' understanding of the concepts and models that scientists use to explain the world- Develop students' hands-on scientific skills and their understanding of experimental work in developing scientific explanations.Built on research and evidence-based principles, these Twenty First Century Science resources have been developed alongside the specifications, with close collaboration between OCR, the University of York Science Education Group, and Oxford University Press. Student Books feature:- Content fully matched to the new 2016 OCR Twenty First Century Science GCSE Science (9-1) specifications, presented in interesting and engaging contexts- Differentiation for all abilities in the form of Higher and Foundation books- Integrated maths support throughout- Exam preparation and practical support throughout - Summary and review questions, worked examples, and plenty of practice and synoptic questions.

There are many different approaches to science. Many students in school have a view of science that is far removed from the real world practice of science and they too often consider science to be a defined body of knowledge and scientists to know all the answers. Through a series of exercises this book tries to give students an awareness of the processes of science and of the nature of science as a changing body of knowledge with uncertainties and much remaining to be discovered. It is hoped that, by using it, teachers can communicate to their students some of the wonder and excitement of science and encourage the development of future generations of scientists. The Nature of Science includes a range of activities designed to look at different aspects of the nature of science and to teach investigative skills to 11-19 year old students. It contains teachers' notes, background information, photocopiable student worksheets and answers.

Chemistry has a human face and the aim of this resource is to present chemists as real people and not stereotypical 'mad scientists' whose lives are completely dominated by science. It includes carefully chosen examples of chemists through the ages and reflects on the difficulties they overcame. Today we live in a world where scientists are accepted regardless of race or gender, however some examples show that this has not always been the case. Chemists in a Social and Historical Context focuses on strategies for teaching about people in chemistry and is an introduction to some chemists who played a role in the development of major ideas in the subject. This resource includes a range of activities designed to look at different aspects of teaching about people in chemistry and the chemical sciences to 11-19 year old students. It contains teachers' notes, background information, photocopiable student worksheets and answers.

Climate change is a very complex subject. Scientists from many countries around the world strive to understand how climate works and then try to prepare for the changes that may lie ahead. This publication includes a series of activities for students with background information and teaching tips on current climate issues. It brings together several sources of data on the earth's climate, including newspaper cuttings and examines Mario Molina's work on ozone and its impact on global politics. Climate Change includes student worksheets to encourage students to form their own opinions based on the data and to generate classroom discussion and debate. It is a flexible resource and can be used to study both ideas and evidence and the nature of science, and also when teaching key skills. This book is aimed at teachers of 11-19 year old students and contains teachers' notes, background information, photocopiable student worksheets and answers.
