The Nuffield Advanced Biology Foundation Unit was designed to help students progress from GCSE science to the Nuffield Advanced Level Biology course as it was in the 1990s. Using brief overviews of some of the topics in the Study Guides, this booklet was designed to...

Published by the Nuffield Foundation, the Nuffield Advanced Biology Study Guide was complementary to the series of Laboratory Guides. This was also a book of investigations but it did not involve practical work and made use of various types of second-hand data instead. It served also as a further source of...

Published by the Nuffield Foundation, this Nuffield Advanced Biology Key was produced to cover the common species of organisms found in static fresh water. The key was illustrated by many drawings accompanied by verbal descriptions. The key was prepared for use in the...

This book, published by the Nuffield Foundation, contained information on the practical management of a biological teaching laboratory with special reference to the Nuffield Advanced Biological Science course. Details of the care of living organisms (Section 2), recipes...
