This collection includes 16 primary solutions units of work developed by the Nuffield Foundation to support Key Stage Two: Years Three to Six (7-11 years).
Each unit within this collection includes lesson by lesson teaching guidance, a listing of new vocabulary, a description of links to other subjects and...
Designing Using Computers at Key Stage 2: Parking Cars
One of the trial units from the Nuffield Primary Solutions in Design and Technology. In this unit, children design a supermarket car park to a detailed design specification. This task could be linked with a geography local study, as it will highlight the varying needs of the people using a car park.
The...
Desk Calculators
Desk calculators was the first of the Weaving guides written by the Nuffield Project Team for the Nuffield Mathematics Project. This guide was not intended to be a manual of instruction as it was felt that teachers and students could find out for themselves ‘how they work’. It was suggested that each school should...
Detergents
This is one of the 18 Background Books published for Stage II of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated designed to be attractive. This book describes applications of chemistry to cleaning.
There are three parts to this book:
*Part 1: Soap
This part explains how...
Developing Policy, Principles and Practice in Primary School Science Assessment
This report sets out a proposed framework for the assessment of science in primary schools.
The framework is the outcome of a seminar held at the Nuffield Foundation on 7 and 8 June 2012. Participants included representatives of the Association for Science Education (ASE), Science Community Representing...
Different Plants and Animals
This Nuffield Primary Science book is for use with the Variety of Life topic. It consists of 11 colourful, and highly illustrated, double-page spreads aimed at students aged 7-9. The book ends with a glossary and index.
...Discrete Mathematics
A substantial part of this Nuffield Advanced Mathematics option was about algorithms. Students used calculators, or computers with a structured programming language, to turn algorithms into programs. They were introduced to various aspects of discrete mathematics and,...
Discuss regression and correlation
This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Data Analysis. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. It includes slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.
In the ‘DISCUSS regression and correlation’...
Dissolving
This is one of the 18 Background Books published for Stage II of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated and designed to be attractive. This book explores the chemical ideas related to solubilility and solutions. The main ideas covered are:
*what happens when a substance...
Distribution and abundance of species
This is a modelling activity where students use sampling techniques to determine the distribution and abundance of organisms in a simulated habitat. Students will simulate the mark–release–recapture technique (Lincoln Index) for estimating population sizes of mobile species.
Curriculum links include: ...
