This resource is part of a Nuffield Maths collection exploring Shape and Space. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

Students explore perimeter and area by asking 'How much lawn feed will be needed?' Students find the perimeter and area of...

This booklet was written to support the Periodicity and Atomic Structure option in the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme Stage III: A Course of Options. The booklet starts with an account of atomic structure which is then related to the periodic table and leads on to a...

Perseverance is a NASA rover that landed on Mars, in February 2021.  The rover is searching for past evidence for life on Mars and collecting samples to be returned to Earth with a planned sample return mission, from NASA and the European Space Agency, ESA.  

This resource activity pack supports the video...

This video demonstrates how the human eye will average or blend fast-flashing red, green and blue lights to produce violet light.  However, if a ball containing the red, green and blue lights are spun the individual lights are clearly visible.  This is because the eye will not merge the separate colours if they...

This collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Personal Finance. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level.

This case study describes how Steph Forrester became a senior lecturer in sports technology. Her research aims to support the development of better sports equipment for the user. ‘Better’ can mean helping an athlete achieve their personal best, providing greater comfort or allowing them to perform with greater...

This document was designed to help school leaders and teachers explore key aspects of personalised teaching and learning and to consider their priorities for further development. For each aspect, there is a section on “How to do this well”, and the guidance was firmly based on practice consistently demonstrated in...

This report, from the Wellcome Trust, defines inquiry-based science learning and explains the importance of developing learning scientific enquiry skills through discussion, questioning, reasoning, gathering data and reviewing evidence. The report stresses the importance of not limiting students' experiences and...

To help students engage in science and mathematics through inquiry, PhET simulations were developed to allow students to investigate cause-and-effect relationships and answer scientific questions through exploration of the simulation.

Several tools in the simulations provide an interactive experience:

From the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI), this interactive resource halps to answer questions that students have about the production of medicines and the careers available in the pharmaceutical industry.

There is a wide variety of questions on topics as varied as:

• The...

This Catalyst article introduces Henry Gosse, an expert naturalist. He devised an alternative explanation for the fossil record, but it failed to impress his peers.

In this simulation students can see how light knocks electrons off a metal target, and recreate the experiment that spawned the field of quantum mechanics.

[b]Sample Learning Objectives include:[/b]

*Visualize and describe the photoelectric effect experiment.

*Predict the results of experiments...

This is a common investigation using a bulb and coloured filters to determine the value of Planck’s constant (h).  An oscilloscope is required and advice on the settings required are given.
