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.

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...

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 first chapter in this book about tests and examinations provided guidance on the nature and purposes of the questions in the range of Question Books. The...

In this year of the Nuffield Physics course, students were encouraged to become more mature scientists by trying to extract some general rules from experiments. There was more emphasis on generalising and abstracting than in the previous two years – leading to an...

The Nuffield 13 to 16 project grew out of an investigation set up by the Nuffield Foundation Science Teaching Project in 1974. This was CESIS: Curriculum and Examination Systems in Integrated Science. The main finding was that what teachers needed was a project to help them make the best use of all the resources...
