It was followed by 'Science Focus', a Key Stage Three programme to illustrate a similar approach to teaching and learning in science. The Salters’ Science materials were developed…
Schools Council Integrated Science Project (SCISP)
The Schools Council Integrated Science Project (SCISP) was developed to meet the needs of the able 13-16 year old student. The accompanying GCE O level assessment led to a double certification. The sample scheme of work was devised and published in the early 1970s on the assumption that an average of one-fifth of a school's…
Nuffield Science 13 to 16
The Nuffield 13 to 16 project grew out of an investigation set up by the Nuffield Foundation Science Teaching Project in 1974. This was CESIS: Curriculum and Examination Systems in Integrated Science. The main finding was that what teachers needed was a project to help them make the best use of all the resources already available…

Learning Through Science was a project initially sponsored by the Schools Council and the Scottish Education Department. Later it came under the aegis of the School Curriculum Development Committee. Its aims were to help teachers of children between the ages of eight and thirteen to learn science through first-hand experience using…
Nuffield Co-ordinated Sciences
The Nuffield Co-ordinated Sciences team devised a science course covering biology, chemistry and physics in two subjects-worth of curriculum time. This was in line with the 1985 government policy statement Science 5 - 16 which set down the requirement for schools to provide courses of broad balanced science for all pupils in 20 per…
Nuffield Pathways Through Science
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). The Pathways scheme was planned as a flexible resource for teachers who wanted to plan their own programmes of work.…
Science 5/13
The Science 5/13 project, 1967 to 1975, was sponsored by the Schools Council, the Nuffield Foundation and the Scottish Education Department. It was the first project to state explicitly what it was hoped children aged 5-13 would achieve through work in science. This was set out in the guidelines to Objectives for Children Learning…

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…
Big Bang Collection
Launched in 2009, The Big Bang: UK Young Scientists & Engineers Fair is the UK’s biggest single science and engineering experience for young people. Throughout 2011 the National STEM Centre will be supporting a rich resource collection of materials from the many organisations that are working to make The Big Bang a celebration…
Nuffield Science for Ages 11-14
In the early 1980s the Nuffield Foundation decided that a new scheme for the first two years of secondary school was needed to replace the very successful Nuffield Combined Science programme. The outcome of new developments was Nuffield 11-13 which was first published in 1986. Subsequently the 11-13 course was extended into a three…
Hamilton Trust Primary Science Resources
The Hamilton Trust has produced a range of resources that aid teachers in delivery of the primary science curriculum. Each of the resources in this collection is a self-contained topic of six lessons. They contain detailed lesson plans, teacher guidance, practical investigations and worksheets. The resources are organised by year…

Nuffield Junior Science
The Nuffield Junior Science project was part of the Nuffield Foundation Science Teaching Project in the 1960s. In the publications, the project team suggested topics and methods to teachers interested in the contribution which science can make to the education of younger boys and girls. In all publications the authors included…
Nuffield Combined Science
Nuffield Combined Science was planned as a two-year course for students aged 11 to 13. It could be adapted for use with the whole range of ability. The course was very widely adopted. By 1979 it had been taken up, in whole or in part, by over half of all secondary schools. The basis for a common course The organizers set out…
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…
