Nuffield Advanced Biology: Laboratory Book - a Technical Guide

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 for the preparation of chemical solutions (Section 3), and notes on the construction and care of equipment (Section 4) were arranged alphabetically so that each section had its own index.

Section 5 had separate lists of the organisms, equipment, and chemicals required for each investigation in the Advanced Biological Science course.

Contents

2. Methods of culturing living organisms
3. List of chemical recipes
4. Equipment
5. List of items needed for the practical work of the Laboratory Guide
6. Systeme International d'Unites, or SI Units, for use in biological science
