Developing successful independent biologists for AS, A level and beyond



For Students: Throughout the Student Book there are links that direct your students to the SNAB Online website, where they'll find activities, interactive tutorials, and skills support to consolidate their in-class learning and develop the skills needed to progress with Biology.



For Teachers and Technicians: You'll find invaluable resources to aid your teaching, including presentations, 3-D modelling, and all the worksheets and guidance for all the student activities including practical work. A guide on teaching each topic and forward planning is provided for those new to the course. SNAB Online also enables you to monitor students' progress and obtain a range of helpful reports.





Online activities: consolidate and build learning across topics and throughout the course by providing a range of activities to support the Student Books.
Activities come with feedback summaries,so students and teachers can easily see areas that need more practice.
Maths and stats skills support gives students reference tools with which to build an understanding of maths within a biological context. Extra practice is provided through a series of interactive activities with help and feedback.
End of topic tests provide feedback and progress checks over the full duration of the course.
Student sheets, teacher and technician notes provided for all core practicals, plus additional practicals, provide further opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate practical skills.
