What's inside Biology 2.7 (Gene Expression)?
The Biology 2.7 sciPAD is completely updated for 2027 and now in full colour, giving students a clear, engaging and structured way to understand how genetic information is expressed in living organisms.
This sciPAD helps students explore how genes influence traits, how DNA instructions are used to make proteins and how gene expression can be affected by different factors. Clear explanations, effective diagrams, scaffolded activities and accurate scientific language support students as they build confidence with complex biological ideas.
Students are guided to describe and explain gene expression using correct terminology, connect DNA, RNA and proteins to observable characteristics and apply their understanding to both familiar and unfamiliar contexts. Regular opportunities to interpret information, analyse evidence and practise written responses help students prepare for strong NCEA answers.
The workbook includes worked examples, NCEA style questions and exam focused practice so students can see what clear, well-supported responses look like. Two pages of review activities at the end of each unit help consolidate key ideas, check understanding and strengthen recall.
A full NCEA style exam at the end of the chapter gives students valuable practice for external assessment.
The Biology 2.7 sciPAD gives teachers a practical, ready-to-use resource and gives students the structure, support and confidence they need to succeed in AS 91159.
Real pages from the workbook.
These sample pages are taken straight from the Biology 2.7 (Gene Expression) preview - the same clear layout, scaffolded questions and write-on space your students get in the printed book.
Built for every learner in the room.
Created for students arriving in the science classroom with a wide range of interests, experiences and learning needs, the workbook makes science accessible and gives every learner the chance to build confidence and succeed.
- Accessible language and appropriately levelled questioning provide opportunities for all learners to succeed.
- Activities introduce concepts step by step, encouraging steady progress and deeper understanding over time.
