This book is meant to be used in conjunction with a class text book, where the aim is to reinforce the most important principles and understandings. It contains the basic essentials needed for students to teach themselves by absorbing both facts and concepts, then working through the many example questions and quizzes. This book is meant to be written in as a workbook to produce progressive learning in a student-friendly manner.

An active learning style is encouraged through the use of simple pictures and diagrams within the text, making full understanding cognitively simpler. Tests are supplied at the end of each topic and trial papers that would typify those used in National Curriculum examinations.

One of the main thrusts in this current approach is the importance of experimental design and analysis, where specific thinking skills and a focus on practical work has become more prominent (e.g. control of variables, data analysis, graphing and evaluation skills). This book is unique in this aspect as it has a whole chapter devoted to Investigations, where the separate, discrete skills are each targeted, from "How to design experiments" to "Evaluation and improvement of techniques".
