This book aims to cover the specifications of the main examination
boards for GCSE Double Science, GCSE Single Science and the core content
of GCSE Chemistry. Where relevant, Key Stage 3 material is summarised
as an introduction to GCSE topics. This serves as revision of work
done prior to Key Stage 4, and a foundation for GCSE studies. The
book will also be useful to teachers as a handy reference and planner.
Each page is presented diagrammatically in an attractive way using
illustrations, tables and some photographs. Diagrammatic presentations
are used as much as possible in order to make it easier for students
to recall information and understand the principles involved. Bullet
points and questions are used to emphasise the essential content of
each page. There are also review questions for every section.
