Nuffield Home Economics: Worksheets and OHP Masters for the Basic Course
The Basic Course of Nuffield Home Economics was supported by the Nuffield Foundation and devised in collaboration with trial schools and with industrial consultants. The textbook and teachers’ guide were supplemented by a pack of photocopiable worksheets and overhead projector (OHP) masters. These consisted of tables of data, background information, and additional activities. Most of this last type were designed so that students could record their results on the sheet.
