Nuffield Junior Science: Teacher's Guide 2

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 representative sample of teachers, adapted the general approach to their own peculiar situations.

The final section of the guide takes a look at these and other examples of work done in schools, and extracts general information on what kinds of topics have been covered, what limitations appear to exist, and so on.
