World of Science

| Summary/Abstract |
World of Science is ideal for teaching mixed-ability classes. Each students' book is differentiated into three main levels with a molecule symbol denoting the demand each task places on the student. The content-based approach ensures that a unit covers all the student needs to know for exam success and has the information needed for homework. Questions for students at the end of every chapter.
