GNVQ Science Advanced

The Nuffield Science in Practice advanced textbook was organised unit-by-unit and carefully structured to help students find the information they needed. The book featured vocational case studies that were specially researched by a team of science writers and teachers to illustrate the practical importance of the science in the mandatory units. A comprehensive reference section included data as well as guidance on measurements, data handling and calculations.
