• Environmental Science reviewed by Science PGCE student, University of Worcester

  Environmental Science is a comprehensive workbook from the ‘Biozone-Biology Modular Workbook Series’.
  
  The workbook is split into 6 sections, covering the full range of environmental science topics from ‘The Earths Systems’ to ‘Pollution and Global Change’ in a smart order of progression, including methods of investigation and analysis of global scientific issues. At the beginning of the book there is a useful concept map to indicate how all the topic sections are interlinked as the subject of environmental science.
  
  At first glance the information contained on each page may seem overwhelming for some students as it is packed in, and the text is quite small, but the diagrams and illustrations fit together beautifully and are followed by both long and short answer questions.
  
  Each section starts by advising the reader of the learning objectives and provides signposts for further reading including the ‘Biozone’ website for that topic. Pages are all coded for level and activity type but also give links to other relevant topics following the concept map. Key words are in bold type throughout the book.
  
  Overall, I think that this is an excellent, quality resource which will enhance the study of environmental science for the majority of advanced level students. It is intended to be purchased as an individual student workbook to support all A’ level courses including the International Baccalaureate, hence it is not licensed for photocopying so at £6.95 on Amazon some students may find this expensive.
