Nuffield Advanced Physics publications included resources to help teachers and students with the course as a whole. Teachers and students needed support in their approach to the novel content, new apparatus, investigative teaching methods and innovative methods of assessment.
Nuffield Advanced Physics: Physics and the Engineer
This Nuffield Advanced Physics book contained reprints of articles that had appeared in Science Journal. By the time that the Nuffield project was published, this journal had been discontinued and so reprints of its articles were no longer available. The articles were...
Nuffield Advanced Physics: Physics Apparatus Construction Drawings
The Nuffield Advanced Physics course introduced new practical work based on novel apparatus. Many of the recommended items of apparatus could be built in schools, with consequent substantial saving in cost. This book was published to provides enough information for a teacher working with a laboratory technician to...
Nuffield Advanced Physics: Students’ Laboratory Book
The authors of Nuffield Advanced Physics produced this book to give students support during their laboratory work. Part one of the book contained short notes on the use of some of the important equipment and apparatus which students would be using quite often in physics...
Nuffield Advanced Physics: Teachers’ Guide to Supplementary Mathematics
This Guide was intended to assist teachers of the Nuffield Advanced Physics course who had students who were not studying a post-16 course in mathematics. The Guide was written in a sequence which followed the needs of the Nuffield Advanced Physics course. The methods...
Nuffield Advanced Physics: Teachers’ Handbook
The Nuffield Advanced Physics Teachers’ Handbook was intended to give teachers an overall view of the Physics course, to assist them in planning their work and in making provision for such things as apparatus, books, and methods of assessment. It also offered...
The authors of Nuffield Advanced Physics were alert to the fact that the sixth form pattern for which the course was to be designed might vanish almost as soon as the materials were published. What was not clear at the time of writing was the form a new pattern would take.
The authors responded to this...
The materials produced by the Nuffield Foundations' Advanced Biological Science Project did not represent a rigid syllabus. They were devised after careful evaluation of the results of extensive school trials so that they could be used in a variety of ways related to the different circumstances found in schools and...
The Nuffield Physical Science course explored the regions of common interest to physicists and chemists. The course focussed on the contributions that physics and chemistry make to the study of the structure and properties of materials. The physics topics explored the interlocking roles of matter, energy and...
The organisers of Nuffield Advanced Physics set out to build a course that could reveal the structure of physics: the kinds of arguments physicist use, and the nature of the problems they tackle. The team wanted students to become more thoughtful. They pointed out that, in physics, the ability to think effectively...
