Twenty first century science: GCSE additional science

University of York Science Education Group and Nuffield Curriculum Centre

The Twenty first century science courses represent the most significant developments in the school science curriculum since the advent of Nuffield courses in the 1960s. Twenty first century science: GCSE additional science adopts the new approach with flair and gusto. This book is written for students and covers nine modules; three in each of biology, chemistry and physics. Science explanations are developed to the point where students have sufficient grounding to take up advanced courses beyond GCSE.
