Nuffield Science Calculations

Comments (0)

This Nuffield Foundation publication was prepared to help students master the calculations involved in GCSE Science courses. The book is divided up into a series individual topics. Each topic is presented in three parts.
• A summary of the ideas students need to know, including any important formulas.
• Worked examples, to show students how to tackle problems in a step-by-step way.
• Questions to solve. The first questions in each topic are straightforward, but they become gradually more difficult.
