Produced by the Royal Astronomical Society, this booklet reviews British astronomy and space science. It includes articles on discoveries and achievements of UK scientists, current projects, plans for the future, careers information, and advice for schools and students. Topics include: * The electromagnetic...

This booklet, from the Institute of Physics, considers what and how future scientists and engineers can be taught about different states of matter. [b]Content includes[/b]: • advances in materials – past, present and future • motivating students • resources to support teaching and learning • virtual experiments and...

The Chemist in Action was designed to give students a more complete picture of the work of the technologist in a number of carefully selected areas than could be provided in the Student Books. In particular its aims were:
*to provide examples in the modern chemical...

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...

The Mineral Process Chemistry special study was originally published by the Mineral Industry Manpower and Careers Unit (MIMCU) in 1980 as a supplement to the studies published earlier by the Nuffield Foundation. In the first revision of the course, in 1984, this title was incorporated into the project’s list of...

The Most Useful Science was published in 1988 by Northern Foods with the help of a group of school teachers and college lecturers. The booklet was designed to give post-16 students some insight into the importance of chemical and biological sciences to the future of the food industry. The ambition of Northern Foods...

This Nuffield Primary Science book is for use in the Living Things in their Environment topic.
It consists of 11 colourful, and highly illustrated, double-page spreads aimed at students aged 9-12. The book ends with a glossary and index.

The popular food science special study was revised and updated for the third edition of Nuffield Advanced Chemistry. The food science special study had been in existence since 1971, and was extensively revised in 1984. The changes in this edition continued to reflect...

The authors of Nuffield Advanced Physics decided to include electronics in the course for two reasons.
1. It could be useful in the future. Students could expect to find themselves using electronic devices in many courses of further education, and in a very wide...

Part 2 of the TRUMP Astrophysics resource package dealt with the observational properties of astronomical objects and was therefore concerned with the analysis and interpretation of observations.

Like Part 1 of the TRUMP package, this part contained study notes (self-study material for teachers), teaching...

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit was designed to be directly about engineering
problems and their solution. The authors pointed out that ‘reluctance’, like feedback in Unit 6, is a concept of more use to an engineer than to a physicist. The authors said that...
