* The use of relative atomic masses for determining the masses...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the D unit called ‘The Periodic Table’. This D unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a Further Science course and built on the content of the S units for Single Science. The teachers’ guide...

These wide-ranging materials include interactive animations and print-based resources covering various science themes. The six major resources are: *Chemwars - an interactive game approach to teaching about reactivity, complete with video clips of the reactions *Generating resources - a selection of activities...

This book was written for chemistry students from the age of 11 to 16. Some of the subject matter would currently be appropriate for Advanced Level Chemistry students. The text is divided into chapters, describing the key concepts. There are end-of-chapter questions to test comprehension, and example exam questions...

A Nature of Science reader that tells the story of how scientists have searched for some simple substances from which everything else might be made. The story starts with the discovery that fire could help to obtain metals from rocks and ends with Mendeleev’s triumphant discovery of the periodic law and the...

breakthrough was a termly resource for teachers published between 1999 and 2001. Each edition highlighted a number of discoveries and inventions and the people who made them. This edition was published in January 1999. Each edition of breakthrough included feature articles and regular items such as profiles of key...

This sample of AMP resources, co-funded by the Clothworkers and Nuffield Foundation, are based on 20 of the Graded Assessment in Mathematics (GAIM) materials produced with Nuffield support in the 1980s. They are classroom-trialled resources to support teachers in their teaching and assessment of the key processes...

The Highway Code: SMILE card 1314 is a booklet of activities using the signs found in the Highway Code as a context. The booklet begins with a page of road signs. The first task asks students to categorise the signs by placing then into a two way table based upon their shape and their colour. The...

This sub-collection of resources from the ‘Graphing Stories’ collection contains situations that give rise to non-linear graphs. Additionally, some of the situations result in parabolas or graphs that are periodic.

In this activity, children learn that a shooting star or meteor is a piece of rock that lights up as it travels through the Earth’s atmosphere. They also work scientifically to investigate how craters are formed when a meteor...
