Evolution

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the S unit called ‘Variation and inheritance’. This X unit provided enough material for eight double periods. It could be selected to complete either a Science or a Further Science course. The teachers’ guide...

Examining at CSE Level

The Nuffield Secondary Science guide to examining at CSE was aimed at teachers and examiners. It began the quest, still continuing today, to find appropriate ways to examine science across the whole ability range.

Exponential rates of change

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Calculus. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level.

This ‘exponential rates of change’ activity introduces the differentiation of exponential functions. Students find gradients by drawing tangents and by using small...

Extracting and purifying metals OCR Unit 12

This worksheet looks at electrolysis, its use in the extraction of sodium and aluminum and in the purification of copper. Having completed it, students are then asked to set up a simple electrolytic cell to obtain pure copper and calculate and measure the amount of product deposited at an electrode during...

Factor Cards

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources that explore Algebra and Maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

In Factor Cards, learners practise expanding brackets and/or factorising quadratic expressions.

Falling and Flying

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the S unit called ‘Cars on the move’. This X Unit provided enough material for eight double periods. It could be selected to complete either a Science or a Further Science course.

The teachers’ guide included 10 worksheets to supplement the students’...

Farming

This Nuffield Working with Science unit featured a range of activities related to a farm visit. Students activities involve careful observation and recording, surveys and formulation of opinions based on evidence.
