Humans rely heavily upon the sense of sight and these activities explore the ways other animals have become adapted to life where and when light is less...

Published by the Nuffield Foundation, the Advanced Physics Foundation Unit was designed to help students progress from GCSE science to the Nuffield course as it was in the 1990s. The physics ideas, questions and checklists in chapters four and five were included to deal...

The Introduction and Guide to Nuffield Physical Science set out the aims and general philosophy of the course. This was a novel course and the Guide set out to explain its nature, and place in the curriculum, to teachers and students.

This Nuffield Physics guide to experiments was designed to supplement Teachers' Guide I by giving details of the class experiments and demonstrations to be done during the first year of the Nuffield O-level physics programme. A special feature of the guides was the very clear, three-dimensional diagrams of the...

This Nuffield Physics Guide to Experiments was designed to supplement Teachers' Guide II by giving details of the class experiments and demonstrations to be done during the second year of the Nuffield O-level physics programme.

Published by the Nuffield Foundation, ‘Molecules and Motion’ was originally written to provide an extended look at one of the central topics of Year Five of the Nuffield Physics course. It was also recommended as supplementary reading for the Unit on...

In Nuffield Physics constructive problems or questions that ask for active thinking largely took the place of pupils' reading in texts or background books. The purpose and nature of these questions was explained in chapter 1 of Nuffield Physics Tests and Examinations...
