Caribbean Schools CATALOGUE 2024

Welcome to our new Caribbean Schools Catalogue for 2024.

and digital resources.

I am pleased to announce the newly published CSEC® Biology and the Junior History of Grenada. CSEC® Biology, by best-selling author Anne Tindale, adds to our very popular resources for secondary school sciences. The textbook adopts the same approach as our CSEC® textbooks for Chemistry, Physics and Human & Social Biology, with a clear focus on what students need to do to pass, including differentiated practice exercises to help students consolidate key skills and work towards a top grade.

Collins Junior History of Grenada, written by Grenadian Historian Dr Nicole Phillip-Dowe, is an excellent resource that succinctly covers the full syllabus, with clear and accessible explanations of each topic and illustrations throughout. Practical activities, including research topics, projects and discussions, engage students and bring the units to life, with end-of-unit questions to reinforce and test understanding.

Visit collins.co.uk/caribbean to find plenty more information about our resources as well as sample chapters and downloadable versions of our catalogues and order forms.

Best wishes, Tom

Collins Primary Social Studies for Antigua and Barbuda

Author: Anthea S Thomas

Provide full coverage of the primary social studies syllabus for Antigua and Barbuda.

Collins Antigua Primary Social Studies has been specially developed by an experienced local teacher to meet the needs of schools, teachers and students. It follows a skills-based approach to learning, and is fully set within local and wider Caribbean contexts to allow students a wider knowledge of their own island and the Caribbean.

• Full-colour student’s books for grades 1 to 6 provide bright illustrations and fun activities to interest students

• Skills based approach, with a wide range of varied activities to promote learning, discussion, critical thinking and crosscurricular learning

• All topics are set within local and wider Caribbean contexts

• Accompanying workbooks provide plenty of activities and puzzles to consolidate learning

2 Our cultural heritage

We are learning to:

Earliest inhabitants of Antigua

• dene the terms: ‘ancestors’, ‘traditions’, ‘customs’, ‘culture’, ‘family’, ‘ethnic’

• name the earliest inhabitants of Antigua: the Arawaks, the Caribs

• name later settlers who came to Antigua: Europeans, Africans, Indians, Chinese

• know about some different groups and nationalities who settled in Antigua

• describe some local traditions, customs and festivals

• know about the local dialect

• know why it is important to preserve our culture.

What is culture?

When we talk about culture, we are talking about the way we live. Culture is the way of life of a group of people. Our culture includes the way we speak, dance, dress and cook our food, the music we play, the stories we tell and our religion.

The culture we have today was learned from our ancestors who came to live on our island before us. Different groups of people came to settle in Antigua at different times. Each group brought with them their own cultural traditions, which they continued in their new life. For example, our national dish, fungee and pepperpot, was brought to Antigua by the Amerindians. The dialect we speak and our dance came from the Africans, while the language we speak, as well as our major religions, came from the Europeans.

The earliest known people to come and live in Antigua were the Amerindians. They came by canoe from South America looking for food. Areas of Antigua and Barbuda where they settled include:

• Twenty Hill in Parham

• Jolly Beach

• Indian Creek

• Mill Reef

• Mamora Bay

• Green Castle Hill

There were two main groups of Amerindians, the Arawaks and the Caribs.

The Arawaks

The Arawaks, also called Tainos, were gentle and peaceful people who lived in groups of families. They shared their belongings and food with each other. They built houses made of mud, sticks and grass. The houses were round with thatched roofs.

Step 3: Consider the sentence structure: ‘Milder’ may mean the weather after a storm, which is usually calm.

you are not sure of the meaning of the original word

You can use the same process to identify an antonym as you did to find the synonym. When you have worked out the literal meaning of the word, add an extra step and find a word that means

The weather is milder today even though a storm is supposed to be passing by sometime soon. The sun isn’t quite as harsh and the winds are hardly moving the palm fronds as I look out of my window past the shutters and down to the still sea. With any luck I’ll be able to get out and fish for a while before any trouble begins.

Find an antonym of the word ‘milder’ in the extract above. Choose from:

(a) harsher (b) hotter

(d) more severe

Step 4: Think of similar words. I have heard the word ‘mild’ used to describe tastes that are not too strong or spicy.

Step 5: I think that ‘milder’ describes calmer weather after the storm. I am now thinking that either option (a) or (c) would be an antonym for it. (b) is too specific about temperature.

Practice task

1 What is an antonym for ‘still’ as used in the extract above? Choose from the following:

(A) moving (B) undulating (C) travelling (D) fidgety

Write down your thoughts, as you follow the five steps.

Remember

You may also need to match the register of the rest of the sentence.

3.1 Structuring and resolving stories effectively

Here is an example of how you might jot down down your thoughts around the text as you work through the steps to find an antonym for ‘milder’. Step 2: Read around the gap: In the sentences that follow it mentions the weather having changed, which makes me think that the word describes a change of some kind.

Step 1: If I obscure this word then I think a word to describe the quality of the weather is needed. Could it be hot or cool?

something. As the story develops, the main character usually faces further plot reversals The issues need not be life-threatening, but they must make the reader want to find out how the character overcomes them. Key

events that block or create problems for the main character 1 Read the following summary of a story, then answer the questions below. Leroy is on a first date with a girl he really likes. He has borrowed money from his brother to take the girl for a meal at a posh restaurant. When paying, he realises his wallet and phone were stolen while he was on the bus. a) What is/are the problem/s Leroy has to face or overcome? b) What possible conflicts might result from this situation? The typical structure of a short story is as follows: Introduction or exposition The writer establishes the main character and his/her situation. Complication or problem The reader learns that the main character faces a challenge or obstacle. This creates difficulties or conflict with others. Rising action The character tries to resolve or tackle the issue, but tension or suspense increases as they struggle. Climax The writer describes a key moment or crisis – the highest level of tension – when the problem is faced or the conflict comes to a boiling point. Resolution For better or worse, the reader finds out what the outcome was (was the main character successful in overcoming the problem, or were they damaged by it?) 176 3.1 Structuring and resolving stories effectively 08134_CSEC_English_Paper2_Ch03.indd 176 12/12/16 9:09 pm 2 Sequence these four elements from the story so that they fit the order above. You already know the first complication. Remember that the introduction will come first. (A) Leroy’s brother turns up at the restaurant. He has Leroy’s wallet and phone, which Leroy dropped while rushing out of the house. Leroy calls the girl, but gets a voicemail, so he leaves a message asking for another chance. (B) Leroy is on the bus with his new girlfriend nervously chatting about the meal. The bus is really crowded. (C) Leroy’s girlfriend storms off when he admits he can’t pay. The restaurant owner calls his parents. (D) Leroy searches desperately for his wallet, and even tries to sweet-talk the manager, but this just makes things worse. 3 What other plot reversals might Leroy face as part of this story? Generating ideas In the exam, you will need to quickly generate ideas for your story based on the stimulus you are given (a choice of a picture or some words that begin, end or are to be included in your piece of writing). You should take about 45 minutes to write your story, so allow at least five minutes to generate ideas and a plan. 4 Look at the photo opposite. Bearing in mind the story structure you have just examined, jot down notes or create a spider diagram to help you generate ideas for a story based on this picture. Think about the following questions: a) Who is the person? b) Where and/or when is this happening? c) What might have happened or be about to happen? d) What is the overall mood? You might begin like this: Ray – come back from overseas for daughter's wedding Looks sad and alone think this is the end of the story – he has had a bad experience...

Les moments de convivialité au café

Le café Touba À Dakar, comme dans beaucoup de villes du pays, le café Touba est bu par les Sénégalais, à leur réveil, durant la journée et en rentrant au foyer après de longues heures de travail. « J’en prends au moins quatre dans la journée », confesse un vendeur de tissus au marché GrandYoff (quartier de Dakar), en montrant une tasse à café jetable vide qu’il s’apprête à lancer dans une poubelle. « Je ne connais rien de plus énergisant que le café Touba. » Au début du dix-neuvième siècle on remarquait qu’en buvant du café local on pouvait rester éveillé afin de beaucoup travailler. De nos jours, le café Touba continue d’occuper une place de choix dans l’alimentation des Sénégalais. Le café Touba est une boisson préparée à base du café arabica local aromatisé. On y ajoute une espèce de poivre (‘’djar’’ en wolof) et, parfois des clous de girofle, ce qui lui donne son « goût exquis », selon

Les Français adorent le café ; au petit déjeuner et après un repas, les Français et les Françaises en boivent beaucoup. 20 pour cent des buveurs réguliers en boivent au moins cinq tasses par jour. Mais on ne voit pas souvent les chaînes américaines comme Starbucks en France. Pourquoi ? C’est parce que dans leur majorité, les Français apprécient le café noir, fort et nature. Un peu de lait ou du sucre peutêtre, mais autrement ils n’ajoutent rien. Les Français sont des consommateurs « sociaux » de café. « Un café à emporter, s’il vous plaît !» n’est pas français ! 98 pour cent des buveurs réguliers de café français le consomment sur place, soit pour prendre une pause détente, soit pour un moment agréable de convivialité entre amis. En France, les bistrots de quartier et les petits cafés en centre-ville font partie de la culture. Dans les pays anglo-saxons, comme aux États-Unis ou au Royaume-Uni par exemple, les gens aiment grignoter toutes les deux heures. Les Français, pourtant, préfèrent des repas plus copieux que les établissements comme Starbucks ne proposent pas. De plus, les serveurs typiquement français parlent avec leurs clients, ce que les baristas de Starbucks – entreprise bien connue pour son chiffre d'affaires élevé – ne font pas. Trouvés surtout dans les grandes villes, comme Paris ou Lyon et dans les aéroports, Starbucks a ses clients fidèles. Mais pour les Français, pour qui le café symbolise un moment agréable et joyeux dans leur quotidien, la mousse au lait, les boissons chaudes dans des tasses énormes et les fauteuils très confortables sont inadaptés à la culture du pays. En France, les amateurs du café traditionnel continuent à faire de la résistance.

The Antilles s

The Greater Antilles is made up of ﬁve islands – Cuba, the Cayman Islands, Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti), Puerto Rico and Jamaica. The Greater Antilles makes up more than 90% of the land area of the West Indies. These islands are also home to more than 90% of the population of the West Indies.

The Lesser Antilles is made up of eight independent countries – Antigua and Barbuda; Barbados; Dominica; Grenada; Saint Kitts and Nevis; Saint Lucia; Saint Vincent and the Grenadines; Trinidad and Tobago – as well as 16 other non-sovereign states and territories. The islands of the Lesser Antilles are divided into:

• Windward Islands in the south

• Leeward Islands in the north

• Leeward Antilles in the west.

Exercise

3. Identify ﬁve countries in the Lesser Antilles and name their capital cities.

4. Which cluster of islands has the greater number of small islands – the Greater or Lesser Antilles?

5. Name three of the Leeward Islands and three of the Windward Islands.

You will look at some of these reasons on this page.

Treaties

A treaty is an agreement between two or more regions or countries. There can be treaties which agree land borders or maritime agreements, which establish a speciﬁc ocean or sea boundary between two countries (see 9.7).

Demarcating boundaries

Sometimes a government will demarcate a particular boundary. Part of demarcating a boundary is signage, which shows where a boundary begins. This may be changed if the government changes. For example, when the British took over rule of Trinidad in 1797, they tried to change the structure of the Spanish Cabildo to reﬂect the British style of local government by setting up a town council. Eventually, by 1927, the Division of Trinidad Act divided the island into eight counties. Each county was sub-divided into wards for election purposes.

Discussion

Examine the county and regional corporation lines on the maps. Compare these to a physical map of Trinidad and Tobago. Talk about the reasons for these boundaries.

Reasons for Caribbean integration

We are learning to:

• examine reasons for the existence of the Caribbean as a region

• suggest ways of strengthening Caribbean integration.

Sometimes countries from an area join together to cooperate as a group. This is known as regional integration

Each territory in the Caribbean is very small, with limited resources and a tiny population in comparison to its more powerful neighbours in North and South America. There are several reasons that the territories of this region have agreed to cooperate as a uniﬁed region:

• geography of the region

• common history

• integration movements including sporting and economic agreements.

Geography of the region

Compared with their larger neighbours, the territories of the Caribbean need to join together in order to represent a larger collection of people. They share the same geographic location and many of the same geographical features:

• island geography – large areas of coastline as a result of being surrounded on all sides by the sea

• tropical rainforests – most of the territories have tropical climates with tropical rainforest vegetation and diverse species of plants and animals

• hazards such as storms, hurricanes and earthquakes. The many small islands each face the challenge of limited resources, as well as vulnerability to natural disasters.

By working together as a region, the territories of the Caribbean are better able to manage the challenges of their geographical resources.

Exercise

1. Which of the following types of habitat are most commonly found in the Caribbean region? a) desert b) mountains c) beach

2. In your own words deﬁne ‘regional integration’ and explain how it works in the Caribbean.

Sample pages from Caribbean Social Studies 1

Common history and culture

The countries of the Caribbean share many similarities such as history, language and culture. The effects of globalisation have affected the islands of the Caribbean in similar ways, and many of the islands share similar social problems.

Because of these similarities, the countries of the Caribbean beneﬁt from joining together as a single region.

For example, the most popular sport in the West Indies is cricket. The British originally brought the game to the West Indies under colonial rule. The earliest cricket matches took place in the early 1800s, among ofﬁcers of the British military Cricket became a symbol of the Caribbean people’s struggle to be free of colonisation. In the early days cricket clubs were white-only, and slaves were not allowed to take part. Black players were forced to found their own clubs.

This changed as inter-island competitions became more frequently organised. The competitions brought together people of all backgrounds from each island as they shared the desire to see their home island win.

The West Indies cricket team from 1933.

As Caribbean society became more democratic and integrated, the West Indian cricket team became a reﬂection of that integration. The West Indies produces many highly talented cricket players, which helps improve national pride.

3. The Caribbean region is situated near the Tropic of Cancer. Suggest four ways that this affects the geography of the region.

4. Why do you think cricket is so popular in the Caribbean?

5. At ﬁrst, cricket was a game for the colonial ‘masters’ and the slaves were not allowed to play. What changed this?

6. Explain what you understand by regional integration in sport.

1 Development of biology I

Despite the early problems with compound microscopes they prevailed and, as instrument makers became more skilled at producing lenses, the power of these microscopes increased. In 1882 the German physician Robert Koch devised methods of staining specimens, which allowed him to identify the bacilli bacteria that are responsible for tuberculosis and for cholera.

By the start of the 20th century optical microscopes had reached the limit of what could be achieved in terms of magniﬁcation.

were compound microscopes because they had an objective lens and an eyepiece, just like the microscopes used in laboratories today. These microscopes were capable of magnifying between 3 times and 9 times the true size. People were quick to see the opportunities provided by the microscope and a number of famous scientists like Galileo Galilei and Robert Hooke contributed to their development. Compound microscopes gave greater magniﬁcation than single lenses but the early versions produced a distorted image. The Dutch scientist van Leeuwenhoek designed a high-power single lens microscope around 1670 that could magnify up to 270 times the actual size. He used it to examine many things, including yeast, red blood cells, bacteria and protozoa.

from

The year 1931 witnessed the ﬁrst of a new generation of electron microscopes. These instruments use beams of electrons rather than light, and are capable of magniﬁcations up to 1 000 000 times actual size. Electron microscopes allowed biologists to see the structure of objects like cells, bacteria and viruses in great detail.

Activity

Here is what you need: • microscope • microscope slide Here is what you should do:

1. Look at the microscope and identify the parts.

2. Turn the knob that adjusts the focus, and observe how this moves the tube up and down.

3. Put a small specimen in the middle of the microscope slide. For example, you might want to look at a hair.

4. Adjust the microscope until the object comes into focus.

5. If your microscope has more than one objective lens, look at the object through low power ﬁrst and then through high power.

6. Practise drawing what you can see.

Check your understanding

1. When and where was the ﬁrst microscope made?

2. What names are given to the two lenses in a compound microscope?

3. Why was van Leeuwenhoek’s single lens microscope initially more effective than a compound microscope?

4. Why was the development of the microscope important for understanding the causes of many diseases?

5. What advantage does an electron microscope have over an optical microscope?

32 Section B: Exploring Biology There have been many important developments and discoveries that have helped scientists to increase their knowledge of biology. In this and the next three spreads, we are going to look at four examples. Invention of the microscope Today we take it for granted that the world is full of organisms so small that we cannot see them with the unaided eye, but this wasn’t always the case. Prior to the invention of the microscope scientists had no notion of a world of tiny creatures. The microscope was invented in Holland around 1590, but we don’t know for certain by whom. Some historians believe it was Hans Lippershey, who is credited with making the ﬁrst telescope, and others believe that it was Hans and Zacharias Janssen, who were spectacle makers. Early Janssen microscopes

Living organisms like human beings are described as

multicellular because they consist of many millions of cells.

Some very simple organisms consist of only one cell and are called unicellular. A unicellular organism carries out all of the activities of a living thing.

You have already seen one unicellular organism, Euglena, on page 47. We are going to look at some more examples.

Amoeba An amoeba is a microscopic unicellular organism that lives in ponds and streams.

It has all of the characteristics of a living organism (see Section 3.1). An amoeba can:

• carry out respiration to obtain energy

• absorb nutrients through its cell membrane

• excrete waste products through its cell membrane

• grow bigger

• reproduce by dividing into two new organisms

• move by allowing its cytoplasm to ﬂow

• respond to stimuli, such as chemicals dissolved in water.

Paramecium A Paramecium is another microscopic unicellular organism that lives in water.

It also exhibits all of the seven characteristics of a living organism. It is able to move more quickly than an amoeba because it is covered in tiny hair-like cilia that can beat together and propel it through the water.

Yeast

Yeast is a unicellular fungus. It has been used by people since ancient times to make bread and also to make alcoholic drinks by a process called fermentation.

multicellular describes an organism that consists of many cells

unicellular describes an organism that consists of a single cell

Yeast reproduce by a process called budding. New cells grow from existing cells. If you look carefully at Fig 5.5 you will see that some of the yeast cells appear to be growing tiny buds. Each new small cell grows and then separates from its parent cell.

Observing yeast cells

Here is what you need:

• microscope

• microscope slide

• cover slip

• tissue paper • pipette • bottle of solution containing yeast cells.

Here is what you should do:

1. Shake the solution of yeast cells and remove a small amount in a pipette.

2. Place

Check your understanding

1. Fig 5.7 shows an organism called Nassula

a) Is Nassula better described as a unicellular organism or a multicellular organism?

b) What characteristics of living organisms would you expect Nassula to have?

Fun fact

At one time, the living world was classified by scientists into two kingdoms: plants and animals. Unicellular organisms were classified as either animals or plants, depending on which they most closely resembled. The amoeba was considered to be an animal while Euglena was considered to be a plant. Eventually, scientists realised that unicellular organisms did not really fit either of these kingdoms. The classification of the living world was revised to give the five kingdoms we have today. Unicellular organisms now have their own kingdom, called Protista.

Key terms

An amoeba a tiny single-celled (unicellular) organism

Paramecium a tiny single-celled organism with small hairs on its surface yeast a single-celled fungus which brings about fermentation budding a system of reproduction where young cells bud off from the parent cell

Place a tissue next to the cover slip and gently draw off the excess water.

Place the slide on the stage of the microscope.

Observe the yeast cells using a low magniﬁcation. Look for yeast cells that appear to be budding, then examine these cells using a higher magniﬁcation. 7. Draw some budding yeast cells.

Microbe cells

Microbes or micro-organisms are extremely small organisms that include all members of the Prokaryotae kingdom, e.g. bacteria, many members of the Protoctista kingdom, e.g. amoeba, and some members of the Fungi kingdom, e.g. yeast.

The cells of prokaryotes lack a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Their DNA exists in a region called the nucleoid, which lacks a nuclear membrane, and also in smaller regions called plasmids capsule – slimy outer covering found in

The cells of protoctists and fungi all have true nuclei surrounded by nuclear membranes, and other membrane-bound organelles.

The body of a unicellular organism consists of one unspecialised cell. This cell can carry out all essential life processes. The body of a multicellular organism is composed of many cells. To enable multicellular organisms to carry out all essential life processes efficiently, cells in their bodies become specialised (differentiated) to carry out speciﬁc functions, e.g. muscle cells in animals contract to bring about movement, mesophyll cells in leaves carry out photosynthesis. By becoming specialised, cells are better able to carry out their speciﬁc functions. Cells specialised to carry out a particular function then work together in groups called tissues. Tissues may contain one or, in some cases, more than one type of cell.
