The Nuffield Advanced Chemistry resources were developed at a time when there was considerable interest in programmed learning. The team decided to experiment with a limited range of programmed texts. An introduction to the Programmed Texts is provided in Appendix 6 of ...

Students arriving in Year Seven may bring with them very different experiences of science. This unit is composed of over 50 short activities, divided into nine sections, which can be used as a ‘pick-and-mix’ resource to introduce students to the procedures and equipment in a secondary school laboratory and bring...

These two books from the Shell Centre focus on applications. The tasks are intended to stimulate students' interest in, and understanding of, the world in which they live. As they pursue these tasks students will be involved in selecting materials and mathematics to use...

Five RISP starters revise ideas of polynomials and curve-sketching, cover expanding brackets, solving equations graphically, and knowing how to sketch the graphs of curves.
