Complete. Accurate. Structured. Searchable. Editable.

This workbook brings together the key terminology and definitions from the Pearson Edexcel GCSE Biology (1BI0) specification in a structured reference designed for everyday teaching, planning, assessment and revision.

The specification has been simplified, organised and indexed to make curriculum information quicker to find, easier to navigate and more practical to use. A dedicated Read Me guide, topic-specific reference tables, an alphabetical index and clear navigation tools help users move quickly between topics, specification references and individual terms.
