Learning and Teaching Resources for Senior Secondary Biology Curriculum

Promoting Effective Use of Practical Work in Senior Secondary Biology Classrooms (2025)
This set of learning and teaching resources was developed as part of a Quality Education Fund Project (Project No.: 2019/0283). It consists of nine units of research-informed investigative practical work designed to support secondary biology teachers in planning and implementing effective scientific investigations. It also synthesises design principles and investigation strategies for conducting investigative practical work.
