Describes an "environmental biology" syllabus offered to third year students at Ounsdale Comprehensive School. Six project areas are described: an individual investigation, a plant project, human biology, rural science, habitat surveys, interdependence. (CS)

Introduces project work as a viable alternative to other forms of practical assessment involved with the Nuffield A-level physical science course. Percentages of teacher and student responses to attitude statements concerning project work are reported. (CS)

Summarizes the result of a subjective evaluation of the Nuffield Primary Science Project, including teacher reaction and the progress of the students in later years of schooling. (AL)

Describes a survey in which one thousand British undergraduates who had studied one or more Nuffield A-Level single sciences were identified; both they and their teachers were asked about the influence of this experience on their university performance. The survey revealed definite approval for the Nuffield schemes. (MLH)

The first of two short articles describes the American Association for the Advancement of Science elementary school program; the other describes an experimental school-based testing program for the assessment of biology students in England for the award of certificate offered by an external examinations' board.

Secondary teachers selected chemistry experiments for assessment purposes and assessed their students in manipulative skills, observational skills, interpretation skills, creative skills, and attitudes. (MLH)

Reports on a survey of 72 schools and 51 teachers who have used the Nuffield Combined Science program. The study sought to determine teachers' opinions of material suitability, discovery learning, and to describe physical characteristics of schools using the program. (CP)

Critical examination of the Teachers' Guide and Guide to Experiments and Questions Book in O-level Nuffield physics course reveals there may be disadvantages to the current organization when analyzed with psychological considerations. (PS)
