BIOZONE International is a New Zealand-based publishing house that delivers cutting-edge science curricula for the next generation. With a 30-year presence in the United States, New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom, they have a global footprint of dedicated educators. BIOZONE’s primary business is the creation of content for science instructional materials for high school science curricula, in both printed and digital formats. Their unique point of difference is the combination of a highly visual textbook (using an infographic style) with an interactive workbook – resulting in a unique hybrid text. The hybrid books and digital resources provide well-designed, compact lessons that engage students and offer a rigorous – yet accessible – programme of work.
Environmental Science
This fourth edition of Environmental Science combines the very best features of a light textbook with the utility of a workbook. This innovative hybrid, known as an interactive worktext, eliminates the need for a separate textbook. The four themes: Earth’s Systems, Living World, Global Resources, and Global Change introduce students to our planet’s physical and biological systems and the ways in which humans interact with them. This edition includes engaging, real-world data on subjects relevant to students, such as fast fashion and mass travel. A chapter on climate change concludes the book and addresses the rapidly emerging and dynamic changes observed in the global environment. While many of the problems caused by human exploitation of Earth’s resources are highlighted, hope for the future features throughout via content that describes ways in which human induced issues can be mitigated.

Chemistry Explained
Chemistry Explained makes the fascinating world of chemistry accessible to all students, regardless of their prior knowledge. The high-quality infographics and inquiry-driven pedagogical approach inspires students’ curiosity about the world from a chemist’s perspective. Students are encouraged to revisit their written answers via a teacher-led classroom review and improve them if necessary. Practicals have been included to enhance the learning experience and, where appropriate, modern day applications of chemistry concepts have been incorporated into the learning material to bring the subject to life. Throughout the content, students are presented with opportunities to practice modeling, data analysis, interpretation of evidence, and evaluation of information. Students will learn the critical skills needed to be a scientist, both when engaging with the world around them and in the laboratory. Formative assessments are included at the end of each chapter.

Biology for NGSS
Biology for NGSS has been specifically written to meet the requirements of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for High School Life Sciences (HS-LS). It is a hybrid resource that’s part textbook, part study guide and part activity book all rolled into one. Compact lessons engage students in learning and provide a rigorous yet accessible program of work, while activities encourage student interaction and inquiry through real-world case studies and data analysis. The infographic style of presentation and annotated diagrammatic explanations make Biology for NGSS highly engaging. Structured for inquiry-based learning, the pedagogical approach requires learners to build a sound understanding of science and engineering practices. Biology for NGSS encompasses all dimensions of the standards (Science and Engineering Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Disciplinary Core Ideas), addressing the program content through a wide range of engaging student-focused activities.
