Nuffield Co-ordinated Sciences: Earth and Space

The second edition of Nuffield Co-ordinated Sciences gave a higher profile to the study of earth and space topics. These aspects of science dealt with three of the cross-curricular themes in the 1992 National Curriculum: weather, geology and space. These themes were related to two strands of the National Curriculum: *The Earth and its atmosphere and *The Earth's place in the Universe. In Nuffield Co-ordinated Sciences the three topics were integrated principally into the Chemistry and Physics components of the rest of the course and provided valuable applications and extensions of these subject areas.
