Activities and Experiences

Activities and Experiences was the central publication of the Science Teacher Education Project, provided by the Nuffield Foundation. It was compiled to provide a bank of ideas to use in courses of professional development. This publication consisted of a loose-leaf pack with pages featuring:

* Introductory material, and commentary on ways of using the collection
* Descriptions of the 97 activities
* Master copies of student-teachers' data sheets, worksheets, and so on, for use in the activities
* Divider cards to separate the collection into 13 major topics.
