Trade ReviewThis book will be most useful for those new to teaching biology, where it can be used to deepen understanding and increase confidence. It will also appeal to the more experienced teacher, as while many of the activities are established, there were also some new ideas for activities. The clear and approachable layout makes the book ideal to use as a quick reference to update particular aspects of teaching, such as using technology or links to careers. I particularly like the Science in context information, which can be used to develop students' curiosity and interest or as a starting point for further research. This would be a useful addition to the bookshelf of any teacher of biology. * School Science Review, Issue 103 *
