LAMP Topic Brief 7: Health and Hygiene
This topic brief was published as part of the ASE’s LAMP Project. The brief was developed for third year pupils following a Nuffield Secondary Science course. It was later trialled in a variety of secondary schools with students of average and below average ability in the 13 to 16 age range.
Aims
