The Nuffield Foundation Science Teaching Project Combined Science Project was intended for children in the 11 to 13 age range, and aimed to be adaptable for use within a range of abilities. The subject matter of the course was based on the material developed by the separate O-Level Nuffield Foundation Science Teaching Projects in biology, chemistry and physics, and was divided into ten sections: the world around us; looking for patterns; how living things begin; air; electricity; water; small things; earth; insects; and energy. The organiser of the project was M J Elwell, guided by the consultative committee under the chairmanship of Professor M Stacey.

The records were transferred to King's College London Archives from the Nuffield Foundation Science Teaching Project at Chelsea College.

Records, 1964-1970, of the Nuffield Foundation Combined Science Project, including general correspondence and a preliminary survey, 1964-1965; synopsis of course contents, 1965; progress report, 1966; correspondence relating to trials schools; papers relating to a conference of 1966; apparatus lists; consultative committee minutes and correspondence, 1967-1970; lists of trial schools and teachers, 1968.
