Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B units called ‘Communities and populations’ and ‘Charged particles’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included four...

Keys to Chemistry Book 2 continued from Book 1 and took the study of chemistry in secondary school up to thw now discontinued 'O' level standard. The book is a reflection of chemistry teaching in the 1970s, following the Nuffield developments in the previous decade.

In this SATIS Revisited resource students look at the role of the kidney and treatment of kidney failure by dialysis and with transplants, and explore issues around the shortage of donor organs in the UK.

In 2010 the number of individuals requiring kidney transplants in the UK was approximately 8000 people....

This resource from Science upd8 revolves around the subject of kidney stones. Dehydration can cause excruciating pain from kidney stones. This activity stimulates discussion through a stunning image of a vicious-looking kidney stone. Students apply their knowledge of saturated solutions and crystallisation to find...

This starter activity focuses on the link between water and health. It encourages students to think about the role of engineers in providing us with healthy water supplies and waste-water disposal systems by thinking about the different ways in which water can be...

In this Science upd8 activity students look at how Tutankhamun's body was preserved and how scientists used information from CT scans to form 3-D images and reconstruct his face.

The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC) resources put curriculum science in real-life contexts. These materials focus on the use of mixtures in the kitchen and can be used to illustrate the properties of materials. Students examine a mince-pie as a 'mixture' and compare 'real' dairy cream with...

From the Science Museum, this resource contains a booklet of science activities using everyday ingredients, with notes for teachers. The booklet contains step-by-step instructions for science activities and experiments that are safe and easy to do in the classroom or at home. The individual activities allow...
