The materials produced by the Nuffield Foundations' Advanced Biological Science Project did not represent a rigid syllabus. They were devised after careful evaluation of the results of extensive school trials so that they could be used in a variety of ways related to the different circumstances found in schools and...

First published in 1991, Nuffield Secondary Mathematics was a major curriculum development project which, under the directorship of Dr. Kath Hart, provided materials designed to improve all students' understanding of mathematics.

The project was forward-thinking as it put investigative work and thinking...
