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...

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...

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 Advanced Science project published a Book of Data. This was designed for reference during the physical science, chemistry and physics courses. This book was intensively used during the physical science course and students had access to the data in all...

This Nuffield Advanced Science Book of Data was a compilation of basic physical data in SI units for use during the Nuffield Advanced courses in Physics, Physical Science, and Chemistry. The book included all the data required specifically for the Nuffield programmes but the book was deliberately not tied too...

The revised edition of the Nuffield Advanced Science Book of Data was based on the first edition. However there were many changes because of feedback from users, changes in syllabuses, and the availability of better sources of data. The content was changed.

Conversion tables and tables of mathematical...

The Nuffield Advanced Chemistry team set out to devise a course based on principles of the subject that were regarded as being of fundamental importance at the time. The authors adopted a teaching approach aimed at developing imaginative thinking on the part of students. The implications of this had been spelled...

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...

This Nuffield Chemistry Data Book contains the following sections:

Section 1: Basic information
Table 1.1 Selected...

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 Background Books appeared as a series of colourful, highly illustrated, short readers to amplify and extend work done in class. Some of the books described applications of chemistry, others were historical while a few focused on particular...

The Nuffield Council on Bioethics engages in a number of educational activities to encourage discussion of bioethics issues among young people. One of these activities is to produce teaching resources on subjects that are covered in its reports. The resources are designed to fit into science and citizenship lessons...
