This Nuffield Advanced Chemistry programmed text was devised as an introduction to organic chemistry. It was offered as an alternative treatment to part of Topic 9 of the basic course. The optional work in Part two of the programme includes useful background work for parts of Topic 13, and elementary ideas on...

The Nuffield Chemistry team worked with the then London Board to develop new styles of assessment to support new approaches to teaching and learning in science first at O-level and then at A-level. Many of the approaches adopted in the 1960s have stood the test of time...

This Nuffield Advanced Chemistry programmed text was devised as an introduction to organic nomenclature at a time when the use of systematic IUPAC names in schools was new. This programme was intended for use as an aid to introducing organic chemistry, either as preliminary work before starting Topic 9 or during...

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...

The Chemist in Action was designed to give students a more complete picture of the work of the technologist in a number of carefully selected areas than could be provided in the Student Books. In particular its aims were:
*to provide examples in the modern chemical...

The Nuffield Advanced Chemistry basic course based its treatment of chemistry on three aids to understanding that were seen as being fundamental. These were:
*the use of the Periodic Table to provide unifying patterns for the diverse properties of elements and...

The Nuffield Advanced Chemistry students’ books were not intended to be conventional textbooks, or background books, or books of data. The books were deliberately left in many ways incomplete. The aim was to provide students with a series of starting points from which...

The Nuffield Advanced Chemistry students’ books were not intended to be conventional textbooks, or background books, or books of data. The books were deliberately left in many ways incomplete. The aim was to provide students with a series of starting points from which to explore the chemistry at advanced level....

These A-level specifications, published by the Nuffield Foundation, were amended following the introduction of the GCSE in the mid-1980s and the widespread move to double-award courses. The Nuffield Foundation did not carry out a complete revision of the Nuffield Advanced Physics resources but, in 1994, published...

Nuffield Advanced Physics publications included resources to help teachers and students with the course as a whole. Teachers and students needed support in their approach to the novel content, new apparatus, investigative teaching methods and innovative methods of assessment.

Published by the Nuffield Foundation, the Advanced Physics Foundation Unit was designed to help students progress from GCSE science to the Nuffield course as it was in the 1990s. The physics ideas, questions and checklists in chapters four and five were included to deal...

The Nuffield Advanced Physics Handbook for Teachers was published by the Nuffield Foundation in 1994 to help teachers manage the redrafted version of the Nuffield Advanced Physics syllabus examined for the first time in 1996. It showed teachers how to use the publications for ...

The Nuffield Advanced Physics course introduced new practical work based on novel apparatus. Many of the recommended items of apparatus could be built in schools, with consequent substantial saving in cost. This book was published to provides enough information for a teacher working with a laboratory technician to...

This Nuffield Advanced Physics book contained reprints of articles that had appeared in Science Journal. By the time that the Nuffield project was published, this journal had been discontinued and so reprints of its articles were no longer available. The articles were...
