Providing complete step-by-step coverage of the Edexcel GCE Physics 2008 specification, Salters-Horners Advanced Physics (SHAP) is the official support material for the context-led approach to the specification. Written by the University of York Science Education Group (UYSEG), this Students' Book offers students motivating and relevant content to improve exam performance and ensure students fulfil their full potential. * Gives students an in-depth, scientific understanding of the principles covered in each topic, including How Science Works. * Vast range of activities, including practical work, the use of ICT, reading, writing, data handling and discussion encourages independent learning and group work. * Past Edexcel exam questions allow students to test themselves regularly and prepare for assessment. * Integral scientific, mathematical and key skills are learned and tested throughout. * Extension and revision materials included for thorough exam preparation. * A list of achievements at the end of each chapter summaries the Edexcel learning outcomes covered in that unit, and shows students what they can expect to be tested on in the exams.
