An attractive and inspiring book, covering the CSEC syllabus in Chemistry, this book offers students and their teachers a comprehensive resource to prepare for the CSEC examination. Clearly written by practising teachers, and with full-colour illustrations throughout, the book covers everything that students need to know, and in addition contains invaluable guidance on preparing for and conducting the School Based Assessment component of the syllabus.
