Nuffield Advanced Chemistry (Fourth Edition): Teachers' Guide

The Teachers’ Guide for the Fourth Edition of Nuffield Advanced Chemistry took the form of a loose-leaf file. The contents provided all the information needed by teachers and technicians. Each Topic started with a summary of content, estimates of the teaching time needed, and teaching objectives based on the examination specification.

Most sections of topics included a suggested treatment which was a guide to teaching the material, and there were answers to selected questions and study tasks. At the end of each topic there were answers to all of the review and the examination questions in the Students' Book.

There was also a guide to each experiment. As well as lists of the resources needed, there was information about the health and safety hazards associated with all the chemicals. The hazards were listed in a different style from that used in the Students' Book and were intended to help technicians, particularly when making up solutions from pure solids or liquids.

Hazardous laboratory chemicals were described in a section at the end of this book which gave further information about the nature of the health and safety hazards associated with each chemical likely to be handled when preparing for the experiments.
