Revised Nuffield Advanced Biology: Teachers’ Guide II

This teachers' guide from the Nuffield Foundation was written to accompany Study Guide II and the related Practical Guides 5-7. Each chapter begins with a review of aims and contents. Following this, the first part of the chapter sets out the assumptions and principles underlying each section in the study guide and repeats and gives answers to the questions. The second part deals in the same way with each practical investigation and its questions and includes a list of items needed. Both parts are thoroughly cross-referenced to the relevant students' books. The chapter ends with a bibliography.
