This resource was designed to help students, aged 14-16, build up their notes while working through Stage II of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The plan was that students would record their work on blank sheets inserted to face each printed page. In this way the authors hoped that students would build up...

This resource was designed to help students aged 15-16 to build up their notes while working through selected options in Stage III of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The plan was that students would record their work on blank sheets inserted to face each printed page. In this way the authors hoped that...

The Salters' GCSE chemistry course (1993 – 2007) was based on the chemistry content from the double award science course, with the addition of three new modules to provide coverage of the extra content.

Learning Objectives

• Students will explore a site of relevance to the topic water quality. This may be to conduct some individual inquiry work on the quality of a local water source, such as a pond, lake or river.
• Alternatively the visit could be to a site involved in the water...

The Salters’ Chemistry Course began with an introductory first year designed for students aged 13-14 (Year Nine). The publications, from the University of York Science Education Group, included a textbook and five unit guides.

Keys to Chemistry Book 1 was the basis for an introductory course of chemistry in secondary school. The book is a reflection of chemistry teaching in the 1970s, following the Nuffield developments in the previous decade.

With a population of over eight million and many people commuting to London for work every day, transport is a key issue for everyone.   Modern technology has developed to cope with the movement of such large numbers of people. However the reliance on combustion for transport over time has resulted in problems of...

The Nuffield Advanced Chemistry course was first published in 1970...

The Nuffield Advanced Chemistry resources were developed at a time when there was considerable interest in programmed learning. The team decided to experiment with a limited range of programmed texts. An introduction to the Programmed Texts is provided in Appendix 6 of ...

Towards the end of the Nuffield Advanced Chemistry course students undertook one Special Study, during which they could apply the principles studied in the basic course to new contexts. Five special studies were developed dealing with biochemistry, chemical engineering...

This pack of Nuffield Chemistry activity sheets was designed to match the National Curriculum Science: Chemistry at Key stage Four from 1996. The ideas were drawn from materials produced by various Nuffield projects over the previous ten years. The pack includes student...

This Nuffield Chemistry Data Book contains the following sections:

Section 1: Basic information
Table 1.1 Selected...

This Handbook for Teachers was one of the first publications of the Nuffield Science Teaching Project and explains the theoretical rationale underlying the Chemistry Sample Scheme. The analysis set out in the Handbook led to developments that are still reflected in...

The Nuffield Co-ordinated Sciences Chemistry course was designed to introduce students to the everyday, industrial, and environmental importance of chemistry, while explaining sufficient theory to show them how scientific knowledge could help them to make sense of the world in which they live. The content was...
