The Oxford Student’s Science Dictionary provides comprehensive exam and revision support to secondary school students. With over 1000 key scientific terms and concepts, related words in feature panels, helpful diagrams and illustrations in two colours, this is a key reference guide for students preparing for GCSE and other exams. This fully updated new edition has even more words to match the new curriculum requirements and the higher vocabulary expectations at GCSE and beyond. More focus is given to topics like ecology, environment and conservation, with a range of new entries from biodiversity and stem cell research to controlled variable, carbon footprint and lifestyle choices that can help to close the word gap, specifically in the area of scientific and technical vocabulary. The 2-column alphabetical dictionary format makes it easy to navigate and to find information fast.
