Nuffield Chemistry: Stage III Background Books
The Nuffield Chemistry Background Books appeared as a series of colourful, highly illustrated, short readers to amplify and extend work done in class. Some of the books described applications of chemistry, others were historical while a few focused on particular chemical ideas.
Themes
This collection includes 5 'extra' Background Books in addition to the 9 that were written to fit closely with the content of Stage III of the Sample Scheme. These readers were written for students in the age range 15-16. Some of the details are now out of date because these readers were published in the 1960s but the historical sections are still interesting.
Applications:
*Chemical Engineering
*Colloids
*Colour
*Corrosion
*Metals and Alloys
*Pictures in Silver
*Sulphuric acid
*Water
Historical:
*Drugs and Medicines
*The Discovery of the Inert Gases
*The Way of Discovery
Concepts and skills:
*Atoms into Ions
*Chemistry and Electricity
*What is an Acid
