This Nuffield 13-16 Study Guide I was intended as the first of a series in response to feedback from teachers using the resources. In the end, only this volume was published. It was designed to support the teaching of the 15 'B' Units with:
*a set of...

The eight Science ('D') Units in the Nuffield 13-16 programme each included enough material for eight double periods. Together they provided some choice for teachers who could select two of the units to complete the Single Science course and a further three units to complete the Further Science course. The booklets...

The three packs of Nuffield Science activity sheets were designed to match the National Curriculum Science at Key stage Four from 1996. The ideas were drawn from materials produced by various Nuffield projects over the previous ten years.

Each pack contains activities which exemplify the Nuffield approach...

Year Nine of Nuffield Science for Key Stage Three was written to provide a clear transition into the 14-16 curriculum. Two teaching sequences were devised for Year Nine, either as an integrated course or as a co-ordinated course divided into biology, chemistry and physics.

In the early 1980s the Nuffield Foundation decided that a new scheme for the first two years of secondary school was needed to replace the very successful Nuffield Combined Science programme.

The outcome of new developments was Nuffield 11-13 which was first...

Nuffield Science for Key Stage Three materials were created by reworking the resources from the Nuffield Science 11 to 13 programme to match the new National Curriculum. For each year there was a Teachers' Guide, a text for students, and a file of worksheets for the...

The Nuffield Foundation set up the Nuffield Science in Practice project in 1991 to innovate in the field of vocational science education. Just as work started, the government announced that the National Council of Vocational Qualifications (NCVQ) would be setting up a...

The Advanced GNVQ was a two-year, post-16 qualification. Originally it consisted of eight mandatory (compulsory) units, four optional units and three units of core skills. This level was for students who had achieved four or more GCSEs at grade C or above. The Advanced GNVQ was considered equivalent to two A level...

At first, Intermediate level GNVQ was planned as a one-year, post-16 qualification. The programme consisted of four mandatory units of work, two optional units (from a choice of four) and three units of core skills. This level was intended for students with a range of GCSE passes, but few A-C grades. The completed...

Nuffield Secondary Science in the 1960s was a response to the need to improve the teaching of science for the three-quarters of secondary students who were then unlikely to be entered for GCE O-level. The project team aimed to put into practice the approach to science teaching outlined in the Newsom Report,...

The Nuffield Secondary Science Apparatus Guide was produced to help teachers and teachers and technicians with the many new practical activities introduced by the project.

Section A This section lists the apparatus, chemicals and materials needed for the fields of study in each of the eight...

The Nuffield Secondary Science project devised, and trialled, material that was flexible and capable of adaptation so that teachers could draw on the ideas to devise courses suitable for their own students. The material was organised into eight themes. The rationale for...
