Nuffield Co-ordinated Sciences: Biology Students’ Book

The Nuffield Co-ordinated Sciences Biology book was illustrated in full colour in both editions. There was no change in content between the two editions. The file for this resource is the second edition which used more colour in the design. The text included explanatory text, and questions. Symbols in the margins of the pages showed which skills students had to apply when responding to the text and questions. The book was designed to be studied alongside the activities described in the biology worksheets.
