Since the publication of the first edition of Nuffield Advanced Chemistry in 1970, the importance of metals relative to other materials had diminished. This was been reflected in the development of the special study as the title had changed from ‘Metallurgy’, first to ‘Metals as materials’ and then, for the third...

The Nuffield Advanced Science project published a Book of Data. This was designed for reference during the physical science, chemistry and physics courses. This book was intensively used during the physical science course and students had access to the data in all...

Teacher’s Guide 1 of the Nuffield Junior Science Project sets out the general educational philosophy of the project based on the project team's observations of children. It then tries to interpret that philosophy in terms of practical classroom situations, with chapters...

Teacher’s Guide 2 of the Nuffield Junior Science Project is largely a collection of reports of samples of work done by classes in the pre-pilot and pilot areas. It attempts to show how children of a wide range of age, ability, and social background, taught by a...

The Nuffield Pathways Through Science course was developed to align with the very innovative and successful modular science course created by the Northern Examining and Assessment Board (NEAB now merged into AQA).

There were three biology modules:

• Bodywise – covering human biology
• ...

The Nuffield Pathways Through Science course was developed to align with the very innovative and successful modular science course created by the Northern Examining and Assessment Board (NEAB now merged into AQA). There were five physics modules:

• Energy Resources – exploring the issues arising from the...

Nuffield Pathways Through Science was reorganised to match the new NEAB Modular Science specifications following the 1995 revisions to the National Curriculum. Much of the content of the programme was unchanged but the modules were cut to 12 and the materials...

The first Student Workbook for Nuffield Physical Science began with an extensive introduction to this novel course for students. The Workbook was not designed as a textbook. The content of each section was arranged on the same plan, and each contained four types of...

The second Student Workbook for Nuffield Physical Science began with an extensive introduction to this novel course for students. The Workbook was not designed as a textbook.

The content of each section was arranged on the same plan, and each contained four types of material: 'Introduction', passages of '...

The Nuffield Primary Science materials were based on the findings of a research project called Science Processes and Concept Exploration (SPACE). This was the first set of resources published in the UK for primary science teaching that was explicitly based on a constructivist view of learning.

The Nuffield 11-13 file of Worksheets includes photocopiable sheets covering both years of the programme. As well as supplementing the activities in the textbook, the worksheets are designed to do several jobs:
*to provide copiable of pages of information or...

The Nuffield 11 to 13 project provided a book for students and a Teachers’ Guide for each year of the course together with a file of Worksheets. The student books were not conventional textbooks. Less space than usual was given to exposition and factual information. The...

The second year of the Nuffield 11-13 course is divided into more traditional units geared towards an understanding of science in everyday life, and in its relation to society. The title ‘How science is used’ for the second year book conveys both the continuity and change.

A concern for processes maintains...
