The Nuffield Physics course for students aged 11–16 was first published in 1966. The course was revised and republished in 1977 following extensive consultations with teachers and visits to see the course in action in schools. Feedback from the O-level examiners also...

The Teachers’ Guides for Revised Nuffield Physics sought to convey the spirit of the approach and its rationale while providing all the technical details for the experiments (based on the Guides to Experiments in the first edition). The guides suggested a language for talking about ideas in physics at an...

The authors of Revised Nuffield Physics hoped that the third year of the course would be a year of capable play in physics, for students with a wide variety of abilities and interests. They wanted students to enjoy being scientists, doing experiments and sometimes thinking about them.

Year 3 included two...

The authors of Revised Nuffield Physics Year 4 used the imagery of a journey to explain how the year’s work fitted into the course as a whole. From this point of view, in years 1 and 2 the students took a journey in a bus across some of the foreign countryside of physics: making acquaintance with things seen from...

The final year of Revised Nuffield Physics was a year of important experiments and ideas, drawing upon the work of previous years, but expecting more imaginative thinking, more reasoning, and new experimenting. The aim was to help students to develop some taste for theory and to explore further in atomic physics in...

Years 1 and 2 of Revised Nuffield Physics were planned as years of gaining acquaintance with materials, their properties and behaviour. These years also introduced various instruments, and the way scientists do things, and just a little of the way scientists talk. They were intended, as in the original...
