Science in Society Teacher's Guide and Projects

The Science in Society course was designed to be flexible. The Teacher's Guide was designed to help teachers make use of the bank of readers and projects by dipping into them and using them in their teaching.

The Teacher's Guide provided a structure that could be used as the basis of a post-16, general studies course. An AO (alternative O-level) syllabus was developed by the Oxford and Cambridge Board to provide certification at the end of a one-year general studies programme. This course was intended to be equally suitable for both science and non-science student.
