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...

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 chemical ideas and skills. Themes ...

Nuffield Combined Science was planned as a two-year course for students aged 11 to 13. It could be adapted for use with the whole range of ability. The course was very widely adopted. By 1979 it had been taken up, in whole or in part, by over half of all secondary...

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 I by giving details of the class experiments and demonstrations to be done during the first year of the Nuffield O-level physics programme. A special feature of the guides was the very clear, three-dimensional diagrams of the...

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

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...

Nuffield Physics Teachers’ Guide I included a general introduction to the course as a whole followed by specific guidance on the first year of the programme. The authors were very concerned to explain the spirit in which the course should be taught. They asked teachers to consider that they were encouraging young...
