These are broken down into what students need to know to pass (knowledge) and what they need to do to pass (competence).

Each spread form the Student Book is accompanied by Teaching Ideas to go with the key content so that you can deliver it in a varied and lively way:

* Ideas for practical work
* Activities and games that can be completed in class
* Quizzes
* Ideas for individual work
* Discussion ideas
* Research investigation ideas
* Website references / links

Where a topic contains an Assessment Activity guidance is given to the teacher on how this could be approached and what the student needs to be aware of.

Where an Assessment Activity relates to an observation or another task that requires information to be provided by the student (e.g. summary of what they did / how they felt etc.), recording sheets are provided for the students to fill in. The student can complete these and add them to their portfolio of evidence.
