Nuffield Physics: Teachers’ Guide V
Year V of Nuffield Physics was planned as the culmination of the five-year programme by linking important experiments and ideas. The year called for more imaginative thinking, more reasoning, and new experimenting. The aim was to develop some taste for theory and to explore further in 'atomic physics', in both experiment and theory.
One of the highlights was to show how Newton's Laws of Motion could be put to the use that Newton himself set forth: to form a grand theory of the planetary system. This had to follow a quantitative treatment of circular motion - to be done, usually, by an experimental approach.
