Nuffield Physics: Guide to Experiments V

This Nuffield Physics Guide to Experiments was designed to supplement Teachers' Guide V by giving details of the class experiments and demonstrations to be done during the fifth year of the Nuffield O-level physics programme. A special feature of the guides was the very clear, three-dimensional diagrams of the apparatus to be used in the experiments. Some of the experiments have been republished with modern guidance on the Institute of Physics website.
