Chemicals
This Nuffield Pathways Through Science module began by exploring three questions related to chemical reactions: How much?, How fast? And How far? and went on to show how a model of atomic structure can account for the periodic table. Applications of chemistry related to antacids, dyes, fermentation, corrosion and food preservation provided contexts for less conceptual activities. The module was presented in four episodes:
Ch 1: Acids and alkalis
Ch 2: Energy and chemistry
Ch 3: How fast? How far?
Ch 4: The Periodic Table.
Publications
*Study Guide – to help teachers and students with planning, record keeping and revision.
*Activities – 62 sides of copiable activities as the basis for a differentiated programme of learning
*Commentary - offering hints and answers. When in difficulty students could get help from the commentary; if their experiment went wrong they could find sample results; if they were absent they could discover the outcomes of the activities they had missed.
*Sourcebook – a highly-illustrated and diverse source of information, explanations and stories. The Sourcebook complemented the activities. Some activities were served directly by features in the Sourcebook. Other features help to set the episodes of the module in context. Some activities directed students to a specific page or feature. More challenging activities required students to scan more of the pages in search of the information they need.
*Teachers’ Guide – with notes on teaching strategies and technical information about all the activities
