Using the existing Nelson Thornes text book for the new specifications?

See the Mapping Document which highlights the differences between the 2006 text book, 'AQA GCSE Science' and the new 2011 text book 'New AQA GCSE Science' that is being produced for the specification change.

This document will help you plan your GCSE course by:

  • highlighting where new content has been introduced or where content has moved between units
  • giving advice about where supplementary content can be found for those using old Nelson Thornes resources
  • showing how your old resources can be used if new resources are not yet available.

This particular document is for Science A which consists of Biology 1, Chemistry 1 and Physics 1.

Please note: these documents are based on the draft Science A specification. They will be updated once the specification has been accredited.
