Nuffield Primary Science: General Guidance

Some of the publications from the Nuffield Primary Science Project give general guidance about the research base of the project, its implementation in schools and the professional development for teachers across the full age range in primary schools. Other resources in this library give more specific guidance and resources for students aged 5-7 and for students aged 7-12.

At first there were two resources offering general guidance. These were the Teachers’ Handbook and the In-service Pack. In the light of experience and the changing context for teaching in schools, the project decided to offer more support in the form of a handbook for science coordinators, a guide to understanding science ideas as well as guidance about science and literacy.
