The Mineral Process Chemistry special study was originally published by the Mineral Industry Manpower and Careers Unit (MIMCU) in 1980 as a supplement to the studies published earlier by the Nuffield Foundation. In the first revision of the course, in 1984, this title was incorporated into the project’s list of...

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...

This Nuffield Advanced Chemistry programmed text was devised as an introduction to organic chemistry. It was offered as an alternative treatment to part of Topic 9 of the basic course. The optional work in Part two of the programme includes useful background work for parts of Topic 13, and elementary ideas on...

This Nuffield Advanced Chemistry programmed text was devised as an introduction to organic nomenclature at a time when the use of systematic IUPAC names in schools was new. This programme was intended for use as an aid to introducing organic chemistry, either as preliminary work before starting Topic 9 or during...

The Chemist in Action was designed to give students a more complete picture of the work of the technologist in a number of carefully selected areas than could be provided in the Student Books. In particular its aims were:
*to provide examples in the modern chemical...

The Nuffield Advanced Chemistry students’ books were not intended to be conventional textbooks, or background books, or books of data. The books were deliberately left in many ways incomplete. The aim was to provide students with a series of starting points from which...

The Nuffield Advanced Chemistry students’ books were not intended to be conventional textbooks, or background books, or books of data. The books were deliberately left in many ways incomplete. The aim was to provide students with a series of starting points from which to explore the chemistry at advanced level....

Published by the Nuffield Foundation, the Advanced Physics Foundation Unit was designed to help students progress from GCSE science to the Nuffield course as it was in the 1990s. The physics ideas, questions and checklists in chapters four and five were included to deal...

The authors of Nuffield Advanced Physics produced this book to give students support during their laboratory work. Part one of the book contained short notes on the use of some of the important equipment and apparatus which students would be using quite often in physics...

This Guide was intended to assist teachers of the Nuffield Advanced Physics course who had students who were not studying a post-16 course in mathematics. The Guide was written in a sequence which followed the needs of the Nuffield Advanced Physics course. The methods...

This Nuffield Foundation booklet contains two keys that were designed to be used in Year IV of the Nuffield biology course. They were intended as a rough guide to plants and animals which could be found...

The title of the fifth year of the original Nuffield Biology course is ‘The Perpetuation of Life’. This makes up the final year of the three-year intermediate programme leading to certification at age 16.

The textbook...

The title of the fourth year of the original Nuffield Biology course is ‘Living Things in Action’. This makes up the middle year of the three-year intermediate programme leading to certification at age 16.
