These downloadable videos and animations are part of the multimedia package Stuff and Substance, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). They can be used to develop ideas relating to the characteristic reactions of acids.

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit was designed to be directly about engineering
problems and their solution. The authors pointed out that ‘reluctance’, like feedback in Unit 6, is a concept of more use to an engineer than to a physicist. The authors said that...

Mobile phones are everywhere; most people in the UK own one. But how do they work? This article looks at the science behind this popular piece of...

The Geography Research Department of the University of Durham (Durham Geography) have developed three worksheets for teachers that provide guidance notes along with example demonstrations and classroom practicals of:

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...

This resource from the Royal Statistical Society Centre for Statistical Education (RSSCSE) consists of the level 4 units. For each unit below there are comprehensive teacher's notes giving an overview of the unit, the aims and objectives for that unit, and prior learning or prerequisites and the equipment required...

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

These resources, from the Nuffield Foundation, follow a previous study which reviewed the available research on how students learn mathematics. Probability is the focus here and this review, published in 2012, was commissioned to explore several aspects of the topic....

The ASE’s LAMP Project took into account the need, expressed by HMI and government, to increase the relevance of the school science curriculum to the needs of society at a time of rapid societal and technological change. The importance of including energy related studies within the framework of the school...

These two books from the Shell Centre are part of the Extended Tasks for GCSE Mathematics support material produced for students as they pursued practical geometry tasks within any mathematics scheme. The practical geometry tasks were intended to stimulate students'...

The Nuffield Co-ordinated Sciences team devised a science course covering biology, chemistry and physics in two subjects-worth of curriculum time. This was in line with the 1985 government policy statement Science 5 - 16 which set down the requirement for schools to provide courses of broad balanced science for all...

The Nuffield Physical Science course explored the regions of common interest to physicists and chemists. The course focussed on the contributions that physics and chemistry make to the study of the structure and properties of materials. The physics topics explored the interlocking roles of matter, energy and...

This resource provides Key Stage Three National Strategy training materials to run a day session with science teachers to help them develop an understanding of the key elements of Assessment for Learning and how it might affect their practice.

This is a CPD taster created to give teachers a better understanding of what to expect when joining one of our secondary science courses. Below you will find a video and a task for you to do in your own time. Once you have done the activity, ...
