This Nuffield Working with Science unit involves scientific investigations both in the laboratory and in the kitchen. The activities encourage students to apply the knowledge gained in new situations, to analyse data from tables and interpret experimental results. Students draw conclusions, weigh up evidence, and make judgments based on evidence.
Guidance for teachers and technicians appears in Teachers’ Notes D.
