Evolve - Textbook & Practical Book - Set

• Tailored to the Curriculum Specification for Leaving Certificate Biology (2025).
• Appropriately pitched for Higher Level and Ordinary Level students, with HL-only material clearly marked for differentiation.
• Sequenced by strand in units and divided into chapters for easy lesson planning and comprehensive coverage of specification topics.
• Learning Outcomes provided at the outset of each chapter and broken down into learning intentions for students.
• Clear explanations and reproducible figures support the use and development of models for biological reasoning.
• Definitions of essential terms highlighted throughout and supported by a comprehensive glossary for easy reference.
• Experimental Investigations put ‘investigate’ Learning Outcomes into practice, with related investigation records to build rigorous inquiry skills.
• Real World Biology tasks make instant connections between topics and their real-life applications, and offer regular opportunities to evaluate media-based arguments and engage with the cross-cutting themes of health, sustainability and technology.
• Research Investigations scaffold ‘research’ Learning Outcomes, prompt critical inquiry and develop scientific communication skills.
• Summary questions at the end of each chapter provide regular reinforcement of learning.
• End-of-unit assessment includes SEC sample paper questions and exam-style questions for revision of core concepts and written examination practice.

Accompanying student Practical Book includes:

• Laboratory safety rules and symbols
• Experimental Investigation records and suggested extensions
• Research Investigation records and a place to record secondary sources
• Real World Biology tasks and linked research tasks
• Comprehensive Biology in Practice Investigation (BiPI) guidance
• Investigative Log to record the BiPI investigative process
