Collected Experiments contains all the experiments used in the sample scheme together with many others. It is intended for the use of teachers, and its purpose is two-fold:

1. to provide alternative experiments in case those given for the sample scheme are not suited to the particular conditions under which...

The Nuffield Chemistry team produced three publications to give general guidance about the approach to teaching suggested by its Sample Scheme:
*Introduction and Guide
*A Handbook for Teachers
*Collected Experiments

The Guide to Chemistry Apparatus set out the requirements for the class experiments and teacher demonstrations suggested for Stages I and II of the Nuffield Chemistry Basic Course.

Notable changes in practice for the...

This Handbook for Teachers was one of the first publications of the Nuffield Science Teaching Project and explains the theoretical rationale underlying the Chemistry Sample Scheme. The analysis set out in the Handbook led to developments that are still reflected in...

The Nuffield Science Teaching Project produced a Sample Scheme in the 1960s to 1970s to illustrate a new approach to lesson sequences. The scheme included details of suggested experiments and advice to teachers regarding handling class discussions and setting homework.

The scheme acted as a stimulus to...

Nuffield Home Economics was developed with the support of the Nuffield Foundation between 1977 and 1981. The project had its origins in a series of in-service courses organised by the Centre for Science and Mathematics Education at Chelsea College. These courses were...

Nuffield Mathematics resources are about using mathematics in real-life contexts. They can be used in traditional courses such as GCSE and GCE A level as well as newer qualifications such as Core Maths. There are three levels.

This collection of...

Nuffield Mathematics resources are about using mathematics in real-life contexts. They can be used in traditional courses such as GCSE and GCE A level as well as newer qualifications such as Core Maths. There are three levels.

Level 2 resources are grouped into four topic areas: Financial calculations, Shape...

Nuffield National Curriculum Mathematics was written to provide comprehensive coverage of the 1996 National Curriculum for mathematics. Each student’s book in the series offers focused coverage of mathematical topics identified in the National Curriculum level descriptions. Used together the books in the series...

The Nuffield Science Teaching Project began in 1962. One of the first problems tackled by the project was the teaching of O-level biology, chemistry and physics. Nuffield Physics was planned as a five-year programme up...

In addition to the general introduction to the course in Teachers’ Guides I and III, the Nuffield Physics project produced two volumes of general guidance. One is about all the apparatus to be used in the course. The other is about tests and examinations both during the course and at the end.

Nuffield Physics placed great emphasis on practical work by students. The projects devised many new approaches to practical work and introduced a wide range of new apparatus to schools. To help teachers, technicians and suppliers, the project published a detailed guide to all the apparatus needed for the course....

This Nuffield Physics Guide to Experiments was designed to supplement Teachers' Guide III by giving details of the class experiments and demonstrations to be done during the third year of the Nuffield O-level physics programme.

A special feature of the guides was the very clear, three-dimensional diagrams of...

In Nuffield Physics, constructive problems or questions that ask for active thinking largely took the place of pupils' reading in texts or background books. The purpose and nature of these questions was explained in chapter 1 of Nuffield Physics Tests and Examinations...

Some students were expected to start the Nuffield Physics course in the third year and so Teachers’ Guide III starts with the same General Introductions that was included in Teachers’ Guide I. This was followed by general and specific guidance about the third year of the course. The course for this year was...
