Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the unit called ‘Particles’ and was intended to lead to an understanding of the ways in which some properties of materials can be explained in terms of the type and arrangement of their atomic and molecular...

Written for the Association for Science Education (ASE) in 1995 to celebrate the centenary of the discovery of X-rays by Röntgen, this book contains units of study for Post-16 students on subjects such as the applications of X-rays, ultrasound and magnetic resonance.

Some units are also suitable for Key...

This resource was one of two readers produced for students by the Nuffield Secondary Science project. It was published in 1972 so it is now very out of date. This is highlighted by the black-and-white illustrations in the book and the absence of any mention of renewable...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the S unit called ‘Rockets and momentum’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included eight worksheets to supplement the...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the unit called ‘Atoms and Molecules’. This B unit provided enough material for six double periods in the third year of secondary school (year nine). The Teachers’ Guide included eight worksheets to supplement the...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B unit called ‘Magnetism and electricity’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included eight worksheets to supplement...

This Nuffield Pathways Through Science module began with the study sound waves and vibrations including how the ear works and the properties of ultrasound. This led on to activities related to how sound vibrations are captured, recorded, and produced. The final group of...

This Nuffield Pathways Through Science module covered current electricity, electromagnetism and its applications, transformers and the mains electricity supply, the uses of electrolysis as well as electrostatics. The module was presented in four episodes:
