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.
