This resource, published at a time when teachers had become aware of the tremendous need for motivational topics in mathematics, gives students an appreciation of, and insight into, mathematics and helps adopt an experimental attitude to the teaching and learning of the...

The materials in this resource are from the Secondary National Strategy ‘Progressing to Level 6 and beyond in science’ project. They were intended for science teachers who are focusing on using models (both physical and abstract) to teach and challenge students...

Students work in teams to design and make a prototype device that can design and make a prototype of a simple device (to be sold in stores like B&Q) that will allow homeowners to remove water from their house during periods of flooding.

In this challenge the device will have to move 100ml of water from...

A podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The UK is literally full of geology - so much so that many names of geological periods come from names of regions of the country, the most well-known being the Devonian (after Devon) and the Cambrian (the old name...

Purpose: Observing changes over time can result in the collection of a lot of data. One method of keeping a central record for the class is to set up a blog or a wiki for the duration of the investigation where photographs, measurements, results tables and graphs can be collated. Using a digital record rather than...

This interactive excel file has separate sheets which deal with direct proportion where the functions are linear, quadratic, cubic and square root.

Each sheet begins with a statement of the proportional relationship,...

This pack of Nuffield Biology activity sheets was designed to match the National Curriculum Science: Biology at Key stage Four from 1996. The ideas were drawn from materials produced by various Nuffield projects over the previous ten years. The pack includes student...

This pack of Nuffield Physics activity sheets was designed to match the National Curriculum Science: Physics at Key stage Four from 1996. The ideas were drawn from materials produced by various Nuffield projects over the previous ten years. The pack includes student sheets for 97 different activities.

There are twelve units in this book from Nuffield National Curriculum Mathematics. Each unit provides information for the student to read and questions and activities for them to do. The units, which are in short sections, have detailed content descriptions at the top...

This is a concept development lesson that is designed to assess how well students understand:

• When conditional probabilities are equal for particular situations
• Representing events as a subset of a sample space using tables and tree diagrams
• Modelling using algebra

The Handbook for Pupils was one of the main innovations of Revised Nuffield Chemistry. It was written in response to the many requests from teachers for more support for students in the form of a textbook.

The book...

The Applied Maths Pack was produced by the Spode Group at a time when teachers were coming to terms with coursework as a compulsory element of the GCSE mathematics course. The new national criteria for GCSE called for a greater emphasis on investigation, discussion, practical work and problem solving.

The...

Purpose: As an alternative to traditional methods of investigating motion in the classroom, such as ticker tape timers or light gates, it is simpler and cheaper to analyse video clips of the movement of objects. Cameras in mobile phones and tablets can record a brief video which when imported into a video analysis...

These resources, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme in partnership with the Association for Science Education, are aimed at newly qualified secondary science teachers and their mentors. Originally published as a CD-ROM, the resources provide training activities and materials that can be used in a...
