Published by the Nuffield Foundation, each chapter of the Nuffield Advanced Biology Laboratory Guide provided a coherent treatment of a series of biological topics based on practical investigations. Although the chapters were arranged in a logical order this was not...

The object of this resource, produced by ESA and ESO, is to present various small projects that will pass on some of the excitement and satisfaction in scientific discovery, to students. Using elementary geometrical and physical considerations, students will be able to derive answers that are comparable with the...

This is the second report on the implementation of mathematics in the National Curriculum. It is based on HMI visits to schools during the school year 1990-91, focusing on the second year of implementation in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 3, and on the first year of implementation in Key Stage 2. Evidence was collected...

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