The Nuffield Foundation
Science in Society is an interesting and topical GCE advanced level course. It aims to develop the knowledge and skills that are needed for students to understand how science works, analyse contemporary issues involving science and technology and communicate their scientific appreciation and understanding to others.
This site provides, in conjunction with the textbooks, a full range of resources for teaching the AS and A2 course.
We hope that Science in Society teachers will contribute to this research project. We worked with Nowgen to develop activities for teaching the A2 topic Nature and Nurture.
Join the forum for information, support and advice. Guidance notes here on how to sign up.
We have very nearly finished all the resources we planned. Now we would like to know how they are working in your classes and what else you need.
New information on this site describing the different ways in which
the course might be used.
