The Nuffield Pathways Through Science course was developed to align with the very innovative and successful modular science course created by the Northern Examining and Assessment Board (NEAB now merged into AQA). There were three Chemistry modules:
*Materials – featuring features solutions and a variety of...

This well structured resource from the IET provides a quick and efficient way of making edible Rice Krispie Christmas snowmen, whilst learning about chemical reactions, measurements and ratios. This resource can be easily adapted to make any shape of Christmas themed treats, from Christmas trees, to Christmas...

This Nuffield Advanced Chemistry Special Study enabled students to see something of the scope of the field of biochemistry, and to appreciate its dependence upon chemical principles The objectives were: *to show the fundamental chemical nature of living processes. *to consider the similarity of the chemical...

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...

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 ...

A Catalyst article explaining how enzymes allow chemical reactions in all living organisms to proceed quickly, under conditions where they would normally be very slow. By isolating enzymes that could be used to catalyze reactions, scientists have started a major biotechnology industry. The article describes how...

This is one of the 18 Background Books published for Stage II of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated and designed to be attractive. This book explores theories of catalysts and describes some industrial uses of catalysts.

There are three parts to this book:
*Part 1:...

This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* Properties of building materials including their reactions with acid.
* Factors which affect rate of reaction.
* The relationship between the properties and...

These ten videos from the Institution of Chemical Engineers, have been produced to provide fun and exciting demonstrations that are relevant to the Key Stage Four curriculum. The videos show the demonstration performed in front of a class, and show the reaction of the students to the demo.

Proteins are polymers of amino acids, and they do all sorts of incredible things. They give structure to living things, carry messages and molecules around our bodies, support the immune system and catalyse chemical reactions, and they are used widely in industry and medicine too. In these articles, we explore...

This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* The conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy.
* The construction and operation of electrochemical cells.
* The conversion of electrical energy to...

These learning objectives were produced to help teachers plan for progression for students aged 11-16, as part of the National Strategies Framework for secondary science.
