Nuffield Advanced Chemistry (Third Edition): Students’ Book

Like its predecessors, the students' book of the third edition of Nuffield Advanced Chemistry contained instructions for practical work, interpretations of the experiments, background reading, and questions to help students develop their understanding of chemical ideas. All topics had several features in common that are used repeatedly during the course to help students with their learning:
*Instructions for experiments
*Comments
*Review tasks
*Questions
*Study tasks
*Reading tasks
*Suggested investigations
*Summaries
*Review and examination questions
