Produced by Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme, this activity gives students practise and experience in analysing complex tables.

Students interrogate information to provide answers to a number of questions. They are asked to write down a number of statements and conclusions that can be made from the table...

Teachers’ Guide I and Students’ Book I of Revised Nuffield Advanced Chemistry covered the eleven topics which constituted the work suggested for the first year of the course.

This booklet was written to support the Periodicity and Atomic Structure option in the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme Stage III: A Course of Options. The booklet starts with an account of atomic structure which is then related to the periodic table and leads on to a...

This collection supports the release of the new novel by Simon Mayo called Itch. The book, published by Random House Children's Books, is about a boy who loves science, collects elements and discovers a new element. The collection contains a selection of eLibrary resources which can be used to support the teaching...

These activities, produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), help students understand about the formulation and design of coating used for tablets taken as medicines. Designed originally as a unit of GNVQ teaching, the materials contain a range...

This Catalyst article looks at sexual selection, a form of natural selection, and the role it plays in the evolution of many organisms. The article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2014, Volume 24, Issue 4.

Catalyst is a science...

This Revised Nuffield Option aimed to help students see their experience of elements and compounds in a more unified and coherent theoretical framework. The treatment was based on experiment but emphasised theory.

Contents

1. Periodicity

2. Atomic structure

3. Bonding...

This activity, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, introduces students to ways of combining errors (uncertainties) from two independent measured quantities. Using the equation for Doppler shift, the error in the rotational velocity and time period are calculated....

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for atomic structure and equations at A level. Curriculum links include atomic structure, relative masses, electron structure, formulae and equations, periodicity, isotopes, electron structure, mass spectrometry, electron configuration,...

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these materials look at nuclear fission and nuclear reactors.

The activities examine the trend in reactivity of the metals in group II of the periodic table and includes a brief study of isotopes in relation to nuclear fission and nuclear...

This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* The extraction and production of important materials from sulphide ores, iron ore and limestone.
* The use of relative atomic masses for determining the masses...

The contents of the Chemistry strand of Nuffield Co-ordinated Sciences were broadly the same in both the first and second editions of the publications. The second edition of the Teachers’ Guide showed how the course matched to the 1992 version of the National Curriculum.

Contents of both editions...

Teachers’ Guide II and Students’ Book II of Revised Nuffield Advanced Chemistry covered the seven topics which constituted the work suggested for the second year of the course. Students were also expected to work though one Special Study.

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the D unit called ‘The Periodic Table’. This D unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a Further Science course and built on the content of the S units for Single Science. The teachers’ guide...
