Develop the problem-solvers of the future with new editions of our Combined and Co-ordinated Sciences series for examination from 2025. You can be assured that this series fully supports the syllabuses and offers an accessible learning journey, developing confident learners. These engaging resources are based on the tried and tested approach of our Cambridge IGCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics series, the result of extensive research with practising teachers. The series offers an accessible learning experience for all students. Resources are written in accessible language with features to support our English as a second language learners. Exercises in the workbook first support, then offer practice opportunities and finally challenge learners. Guidance from the teacher's resource alongside this structured approach enables you to offer differentiated support where it is needed, building both scientific skills and skills for life.

This print and digital coursebook has been developed from extensive research through lesson observations, interviews, and work with the Cambridge Panel, our online research community. This accessible resource is written in clear English with features to support English as a second language learners. Activities develop students’ essential science skills, while practice questions and self-assessment and reflection opportunities build student confidence. Projects provide opportunities for assessment for learning and cross-curricular learning as well as developing skills for life. Answers are available to teachers via Cambridge GO.
