Nuffield Advanced Chemistry (Fourth Edition): Materials Science
The Materials Science Special Study was revised and updated for the Fourth Edition of Nuffield Advanced Chemistry. All the theory was explained in the Students’ Book. The experiments were described in a separate file. The Teachers’ and Technicians’ Guide provided the technical information for setting up the practical work together with answers to the questions about the experiments. In addition the web pages of the Re:act web site provided a study guide for each chapter to help students work independently.
