Nuffield Secondary Science
Nuffield Secondary Science in the 1960s was a response to the need to improve the teaching of science for the three-quarters of secondary students who were then unlikely to be entered for GCE O-level. The project team aimed to put into practice the approach to science teaching outlined in the Newsom Report, Half Our Future. This…
Children’s Learning in Science Project
The Children’s Learning in Science Project (CLIS) set out to explore children’s own ideas around the science topics they cover in school science lessons, and use this to help improve the way teachers develop students’ scientific understanding. The project was largely focused on the early years of secondary education,…
The World of Science (New SATIS 14-16)
The World of Science was based on a selection of topics from ASE’s SATIS project. The publications contained the best of the thinking of the first project. Units that had stood the test of time were included but they were updated, shortened and amended in the light of experience. Many new units were devised for the project…
Nuffield Chemistry
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 for teachers in a Sample Scheme covering ages 11-16 in three stages. The rationale for the development work was spelled…
Science Across the World
This collection includes the topics that were developed by international teams of teachers participating in Science Across the World between 1991 and 2010. The project was run by the Association for Science Education (ASE). A special feature of the topics is that they are available in several languages. Every topic leads towards…

The units provide a wide range of strategies to cover the programme of study for How Science Works and the wide spectrum of science. Materials consist of…
Resources for Secondary School Students
A selection of lesson plans, activities and teachers notes for students aged 11-19 from BP Educational Service (BPES). The materials include interactive animations, information and activity sheets, and suggestions for practical activities.
Triple Science Support Programme
The Triple Science Support Programme helps schools, managers and teachers plan, develop and deliver Triple Science GCSEs. The programme offers schools training, consultancy, networking opportunities, resources and publications. This collection contains some of the materials that are useful in the delivery, development and support…
SATIS
The Association for Science Education set up the SATIS project in 1984, to help teachers relate school science to its social and technological contexts.The units are a model for developing topical lessons to show applications of science, and illustrate aspects of ‘How science works'. The original SATIS (Science and…
NLN Materials
The NLN Materials are small, flexible 'bite-sized' episodes of learning. They are not whole courses but are designed to support a wide range of subject and topic areas. The materials adopt a range of approaches involving some knowledge acquisition, a chance to practice and absorb, and some form of assessment to check…
CIEC Promoting Science
Experienced teachers, working for CIEC Promoting Science, have created over 100 teaching and learning resources and a suite of interactive and informative websites for use by teachers and students. They show how science works in real-life contexts and demonstrate how the chemical industry is relevant to society. Resources cover…
Science upd8
