In this Revised Nuffield Chemistry option, ideas about proton and electron transfer were used to explain the decay of stonework and the corrosion of metals. Practical investigations explored the physical and chemical changes that can lead to the breakdown of stone as well as the factors that determine the rate of...
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.
Teachers and students had considerable freedom in their response to this Revised Nuffield Chemistry option because under O-level regulations it was teacher assessed. Practical work was based on a ‘real’ industrial process from the fine chemicals industry.
This Revised Nuffield Chemistry option suggested the use of paper, column and thin-layer chromatography to analyse inks, food colours and coins. Quantitative work was based on the analysis of vitamin C in foods.

The schemes differed more in flavour than in...
Studies leading to the revision of Nuffield Chemistry showed that the introduction of topics that had seemed revolutionary in the mid-60s (such a structure, rates, energy changes and chemical equilibrium) had been widely accepted as desirable. However, the research...
The revision of Stage III of Revised Nuffield Chemistry put more emphasis on applied, social and historical aspects of chemistry. This was in response to feedback from teachers that the original version of Stage III included too many academic options that overlapped...
Revised Nuffield Chemistry Teachers’ Guide III
Revised Nuffield Chemistry Teachers’ Guide III provided a commentary to enable teachers to advise and supervise their students. Practical details, science explanations, background reading and questions was all included in the student booklets. Students taking the O-level examinations in Nuffield Chemistry were...
In Revised Nuffield Chemistry the book called Chemists in the World replaced many of the Stage II and Stage III Background Books from the first edition of the course. In their place the new text, which was largely edited from the old Background books, covered topics in the history of chemistry and modern chemical...
