This textbook provides both, depth of content and opportunities for skill development that aligns with the latest version of the IB DP Biology Guide. It presents a clear and logical learning model that can be followed by all teachers, independently of their expertise teaching the IB Biology program, and students. They will also find the section that introduces Tools and Inquiry extremely useful.

This textbook provides both, depth of content and opportunities for skill development that aligns with the latest version of the IB DP Biology Guide. It presents a clear and logical learning model that can be followed by all teachers, independently of their expertise teaching the IB Biology program, and students. They will also find the section that introduces Tools and Inquiry extremely useful. There is a wide range of questions and ATL activities that align with the IB learning approach and are suitable for students with different abilities. These activities either contribute to ensure deep learning by revising, strengthening or connecting knowledge and they also provide opportunities to develop and strengthen skills within the context of each topic through the 'Tools' and 'Inquiry' activities presented in every chapter. Some innovative activities range from simple online simulations which aid understanding to the use of more sophisticated scientific databases at HL level. There are also opportunities for reflection, further development of critical thinking and encouragement to research beyond the limits of the IB diploma program. The authors have made a great effort in designing a broad variety of activities that effectively fuse content and skills. 'Common mistakes', 'Top tips' and some skill development sections are useful in focusing on the degree of accuracy required in a discipline such as biology. * Marcela Rodriguez, Specialist in Science Education.
