The title of the second year of the original Nuffield Biology course is ‘Life and Living Processes’. This makes up the second year of the introductory two-year programme. This introductory phase is characterised by a broad general approach to the subject.

The Nuffield Science Teaching Project began in 1962. One of the first problems tackled by the project was the teaching of O-level physics, chemistry and biology. The Nuffield Chemistry team produced guidance...

This pack of Nuffield Chemistry activity sheets was designed to match the National Curriculum Science: Chemistry at Key stage Four from 1996. The ideas were drawn from materials produced by various Nuffield projects over the previous ten years. The pack includes student...

This Nuffield Chemistry book was published in 1966 as a result of the demands for more detailed information from teachers who had taken part in the first trials of the new approach to teaching chemistry in the early 1960s. The authors warn that the Sample Scheme set out in the book probably contains more detail...

This Nuffield Chemistry Data Book contains the following sections:

Section 1: Basic information
Table 1.1 Selected...

One of the first books to be produced by the Nuffield Science Teaching Project in the 1960s, this introduction outlines the Nuffield Chemistry scheme and how its new approach to teaching and assessment aimed to modernise the teaching of the subject for students aged 11-...

Collected Experiments contains all the experiments used in the sample scheme together with many others. It is intended for the use of teachers, and its purpose is two-fold:

1. to provide alternative experiments in case those given for the sample scheme are not suited to the particular conditions under which...

The Nuffield Chemistry team produced three publications to give general guidance about the approach to teaching suggested by its Sample Scheme:
*Introduction and Guide
*A Handbook for Teachers
*Collected Experiments

The Guide to Chemistry Apparatus set out the requirements for the class experiments and teacher demonstrations suggested for Stages I and II of the Nuffield Chemistry Basic Course.

Notable changes in practice for the...

This Handbook for Teachers was one of the first publications of the Nuffield Science Teaching Project and explains the theoretical rationale underlying the Chemistry Sample Scheme. The analysis set out in the Handbook led to developments that are still reflected in...

Stage III was the last part of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme for O-level Chemistry. It was designed to give students the opportunity to apply the skills and ideas they had met in Stages I and II to a number of selected fields of study. At O-level each student was...

The Nuffield Science Teaching Project produced a Sample Scheme in the 1960s to 1970s to illustrate a new approach to lesson sequences. The scheme included details of suggested experiments and advice to teachers regarding handling class discussions and setting homework.

The scheme acted as a stimulus to...

The Nuffield Chemistry Background Books appeared as a series of colourful, highly illustrated, short readers to amplify and extend work done in class. Some of the books described applications of chemistry, others were historical while a few focused on particular chemical ideas and skills. Themes ...
