Resources by Nuffield Foundation

Mechanics 1

The approach in this Nuffield Advanced Mathematics books was one of guided modelling supported by practical work. In each investigation, students were expected to:
*define the problem that you are going to investigate
*set up a mathematical model of the...

Mechanics 2

As with Mechanics 1, the approach in this Nuffield Advanced Mathematics book was one of guided modelling supported by practical work with the same expectations that, in each investigation students would:
*define the problem that you are going to investigate

Meddling with Molecules

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the S unit called ‘Particles at work’. This D unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a Further Science course and built on the content of the S units for Single Science. The teachers’ guide...

Metals

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B unit called ‘Charged particles’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included seven worksheets to supplement the...

Metals

This resource consists of a self-study sheet and suggested practical activity.  Students will:

• Use fully annotated diagrams to describe the structures of more than two metals and relate their structures to physical properties 
• Carry out tests on samples of metals they have work-hardened,...

Metals and Alloys

This is one of the 14 Background Books published for Stage III of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated and designed to be attractive. This book describes applications of chemistry.

There are four parts to this book:
*Part 1: Extraction of metals
The extraction...

Methods of Assessment

Methods of Assessment was written in the early days of the GCSE qualification as a guide to teachers at a time when they were being expected to play a more active part in the formal assessment of science courses. The book was part of a series about assessment...

Michael Faraday

This is one of the 18 Background Books published for Stage II of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated and designed to be attractive. This book describes aspects of the history of chemistry and physics by describing the life and work of Michael Faraday.
