Nuffield Biology: Year One - Introducing Living Things
The title of the first year of the original Nuffield Biology course is ‘Introducing Living Things’. This makes up the first year of the introductory two-year programme. This introductory phase is characterised by a broad general approach to the subject.
The textbook is highly illustrated in black and white with clear line diagrams, often in three dimensions. It includes explanatory text, instructions for practical work and background reading.
The Teachers’ Guide provides detailed technical support for the practical work, notes on the teaching and background information for teachers. The details of the procedures were developed in the 1960s, parts are out of date and the advice on health and safety does not measure up to modern standards.
