Nuffield Junior Science: Teacher's Guide 1

Teacher’s Guide 1 of the Nuffield Junior Science Project sets out the general educational philosophy of the project based on the project team's observations of children. It then tries to interpret that philosophy in terms of practical classroom situations, with chapters on selected trials, classroom organisation, books, and aids, all of which describe the difficulties met by teachers, and the various ways in which they have overcome them. There is also a chapter which sets out suggestions for further work.
