Salters-Nuffield Advanced Biology CPD units

Available from Heinemann, samples available here. What's here is useful for introducing the 2008 course as well as the current 2005 one. We shall be producing revised versions for the September 2008 course, but they will be very similar.

Love-in-a-mist by Lucy Phillips The Heinemann subscription website snabonline includes CPD units to help support teachers in introducing and teaching the 2005 SNAB course. You can sign up for a free 60-day trial of this website. SNAB from Heinemann

Here are the CPD units which we think are particularly helpful to those interested in SNAB, whether the 2005 or 2008 course. We are very grateful to Heinemann for permission to provide these here. See the Heinemann website for the rest. See www.snabonline.com

CPD units will be available for the new Edexcel 2008 course, and will also be available on this website.

For each of these CPD units, you can download the Facilitator's and Teachers' notes, and related student activities. See below.

You also need a copy of the current SNAB AS student book if you are going to work through these materials now. See SNAB from Heinemann
