Revised Nuffield Physics Teachers’ Guide Years 1 and 2
The Teachers’ Guides for Revised Nuffield Physics sought to convey the spirit of the approach while providing all the technical details for the experiments (based on the Guides to Experiments in the first edition). The guides suggested a language for talking about ideas in physics at an appropriate level at each...
The authors of Revised Nuffield Physics hoped that the third year of the course would be a year of capable play in physics, for students with a wide variety of abilities and interests. They wanted students to enjoy being scientists, doing experiments and sometimes thinking about them.
Year 3 included two...
The authors of Revised Nuffield Physics Year 4 used the imagery of a journey to explain how the year’s work fitted into the course as a whole. From this point of view, in years 1 and 2 the students took a journey in a bus across some of the foreign countryside of physics: making acquaintance with things seen from...
The final year of Revised Nuffield Physics was a year of important experiments and ideas, drawing upon the work of previous years, but expecting more imaginative thinking, more reasoning, and new experimenting. The aim was to help students to develop some taste for theory and to explore further in atomic physics in...
Years 1 and 2 of Revised Nuffield Physics were planned as years of gaining acquaintance with materials, their properties and behaviour. These years also introduced various instruments, and the way scientists do things, and just a little of the way scientists talk. They were intended, as in the original...
Revised Nuffield Physics: General Introduction
The General Introduction to Revised Nuffield Physics explained the rationale for the changes and provided an overview of the course as a whole. In the first edition the general introduction was included at the beginning of the Teachers’s Guides to...
Road test
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 this ‘Road test’ resource students use acceleration and braking data from a car road test to draw graphs....
Road tunnel
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.
This activity is about using graphical and algebraic methods to solve problems in real contexts that can be...
Rockets and Momentum
Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B unit called ‘Machines and engines’ and the S unit called ‘Fuels’. 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 students’ booklet...
Rocks, Soil and Weather
This Nuffield Primary Science book consists of 11 colourful, and highly illustrated, double-page spreads aimed at students aged 7-9. The book ends with a glossary and index.
