Movies are amazing: a good movie can make you laugh, cry or jump in surprise. But how do they do it? The music you are listening to plays a big part. This programme investigates the design and technology that goes into making movies sound good – from understanding how soundtracks can make you feel a particular...

Sometimes what looks like magic is actually science! In this programme, pupils will look at magic and movie tricks for inspiration and find out how it’s done. They explore how things are done to make movies look realistic, and investigate whether some of the themes or technology from the movies could be possible in...

This task consists of three activities and provides students with the opportunity to explore the use of mathematics in a travel and tourism context. Students adopt the role of newly-appointed managers at a travel company and are required to plan a tour of the UK, choosing the destinations, transport and...

Like its predecessors, the students' book of the third edition of Nuffield Advanced Chemistry contained instructions for practical work, interpretations of the experiments, background reading, and questions to help students develop their understanding of chemical ideas. All topics had several features in common...

The Nuffield Advanced Physics Handbook for Teachers was published by the Nuffield Foundation in 1994 to help teachers manage the redrafted version of the Nuffield Advanced Physics syllabus examined for the first time in 1996. It showed teachers how to use the publications for ...

This activity, from the Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM) publication ‘Little People Big Maths', is designed to reinforce ideas about the properties of number and the use of knowledge and reasoning to work out the rules. Students are each given a card on which is written a number. Students hold...

There are nine units, all at level four, in this book from the Nuffield National Curriculum Mathematics series. Each unit provides information for the student to read and questions and activities for them to do.

The units, which are in short sections, have detailed content descriptions at the top of each...
