Published by the Nuffield Foundation, the Dynamic Modelling system was designed to be used in the Revised Nuffield Advanced Physics course as well as other secondary science courses. The program had two parts: the operating system and a physics models disk. The system was intended to meet the needs of different...

These booklets of guidance were designed to help teachers or students set up models in the Dynamic Modelling System on different types of microcomputer available in schools at the time that Revised Nuffield Advanced Physics was published.

The notes in this booklet described the models on the models disk designed for use with the Dynamic Modelling System, in the Revised Nuffield Advanced Physics course. Most of the models described were relevant to any advanced level physics course at the time. At the...

Published by the Nuffield Foundation, this background reader was compiled to support Unit G 'Energy sources' in the Revised Nuffield Advanced Physics course. This book contained a collection of articles related to energy options. The articles were not written specially for the course but were selected from a range...

This booklet was compiled to support Unit G 'Energy Sources' in the Revised Nuffield Advanced Physics course. It included a limited number of tables of data. It also gave guidance on where to look for more data in the era before the Internet.

The Nuffield Foundation's Revised Nuffield Advanced Physics courses did not all cover as many topics or exactly the same topics as in other A-level physics courses. However it did include the core of physics which universities and other institutions regarded as essential to further study.

In the view of the...

This Revised Nuffield Advanced Physics reader explained how microcomputers worked in the 1980s. It did not refer to any one type of computer. All ideas discussed were relevant to any computer.

...

Published by the Nuffield Foundation, the articles in this Revised Nuffield Advanced Physics reader are extended concepts covered in the course and examined developments in physics taking place in the 1980s.

The Nuffield Advanced Chemistry course was first published in 1970 and was revised, so this was the third edition of a successful course. In this third edition there was just one students' book for the whole course and...

This booklet, from the Institute of Physics, takes a broad view of physics as a subject and considers possible ways forward. It considers constraints, proposals, and the importance of partnerships to the process of curriculum development.

This Core Maths activity allows students to explore the difference between linear and exponential sequences and their sums.

The SMILE resources on which the lesson is based can be found here. Details of prior student knowledge, suggested approaches...

This podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) looks at why understanding rip currents at Perranporth in north Cornwall could help save lives; and how exactly does carbon capture and storage (CCS) work and how can scientists be sure that CO2 will be stored...

This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of STEM Ambassador Ross Wattie, a risk management coordinator at an international integrated energy company.

Ross is currently involved in risk modelling to simulate different scenarios and assess their possible impacts. He has also found that his...
