The Nuffield Secondary Science Apparatus Guide was produced to help teachers and teachers and technicians with the many new practical activities introduced by the project.

Section A This section lists the apparatus, chemicals and materials needed for the fields of study in each of the eight...

The Nuffield Secondary Science project devised, and trialled, material that was flexible and capable of adaptation so that teachers could draw on the ideas to devise courses suitable for their own students. The material was organised into eight themes. The rationale for...

This Nuffield Secondary Science theme suggests ways to help students arrive at an understanding of aspects of interdependence, and an appreciation of the importance of animal and plant conservation. The laboratory investigations develop from problems identified during...

This Nuffield Secondary Science theme deals with the continuity of life, not only in the short term from generation to generation, but also in the long term, when the cumulative picture of many generations appears to indicate an evolution. As a result, the theme includes two very important concepts related to...

The summary in the teachers’ guide for Nuffield Secondary Science states that when studying this theme, students learn by asking questions and seeking answers to questions about themselves in particular and about mankind in general.

The Nuffield Secondary Science theme suggests a wide range of experiences and investigations from which the idea of energy conservation can gradually emerge. The resources, like other 1960s Nuffield programmes, describe energy changes in terms of energy conversions from...

This Nuffield Secondary Science theme explores the devices that can be used to extend the range of sensitivity of the human senses.

This Nuffield Secondary Science theme is designed to develop an understanding of the extent to which a few physical principles underlie the wide range of phenomena encompassed by the idea of movement in the modern world.

This Nuffield Secondary Science theme focuses on the uses and properties of materials covering a range of traditional, modern and new materials.

...

This Nuffield Secondary Science theme ranges from the local rocks and weather to outer space. Thus it covers aspects of earth science, meteorology and astronomy. 

Areas for investigation: The information in the theme book provides detailed practical advice and guidance related to a wide...

This resource links to a series of resources for Level 3 statistics developed by the Nuffield Foundation.

They deal with probability and hypothesis testing in a variety of different areas, making use of proportion, significance test, null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, normal distribution, mean,...
