EuroBio Advanced


Volvox EuroBio images ADVANCED IMAGES \| BASIC IMAGES EuroBio is an extensive collection of illustrations for use in biology teaching, produced by Steven Weinberg and his colleagues at the European School I in Luxembourg. The images do not have captions; these are in separate text files in numerous languages. The images come in two sets: basic (70 pages suitable for GCSE) and advanced (126 pages roughly suitable for A Level). You may download the Advanced images (as PDF files) from this page -- the Basic set is on an accompanying page. Copyright Please note that the materials remain copyright of the European Schools (Scholae Europeae), but they can be used freely for non-commercial educational purposes.
