Revised Nuffield Physics Teachers’ Guide Year 4
The Teachers’ Guides for Revised Nuffield Physics sought to convey the spirit of the approach and its rationale while providing all the technical details for the experiments (based on the Guides to Experiments in the first edition). The guides suggested a language for talking about ideas in physics at an appropriate level at each stage of the course. The guides did not include answers to the many questions in the parallel student texts. The Guide for Year 4 included discussions of the suggested approaches to the major topics in the programme including Newton’s laws of motion, the kinetic theory of gases and energy conservation. Many of the experiments have been re-presented, with modern guidance on health and safety, on the Institute of Physics website.
