Nuffield Chemistry: General Guidance

The Nuffield Chemistry team produced three publications to give general guidance about the approach to teaching suggested by its Sample Scheme:
*Introduction and Guide
*A Handbook for Teachers
*Collected Experiments

These publications were designed to help teachers to understand the very significant changes being proposed to the rationale for teaching chemistry to students aged 11-16. The investigative approach was based on practical work to underpin the development of concepts. Parallel changes in methods of assessment took place to reflect the new aims of the programme.

Collected Experiments contains all the experiments used in the sample scheme together with many others. It is intended for the use of teachers, and its purpose is two-fold:

1. to provide alternative experiments in case those given for the sample scheme are not suited to the particular conditions under which...

Nuffield Chemistry: Handbook for Teachers

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...
