Resources by Nuffield Foundation

Radiation

This Nuffield Pathways Through Science module introduced a source detector model for thinking about radiations. This model was used as students explored the transmission, absorption and reflection of radiation and then went on to learn about the radiations from...

Radioactive Chemicals

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 describes applications of chemistry but includes some historical sections and covers some applications.

There are six parts to this...

Radioactivity

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the D unit called ‘The Periodic Table’. This D unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a Further Science course and built on the content of the S units for Single Science. The teachers’ guide...

Rain or shine

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Hypothesis testing. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

In this activity...

Ratios

This resource contains a worksheet, bingo cards and matching cards to give learners practice in simplifying ratios.

The resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

Reaction times

In this activity from Nuffield, students are asked to develop an experiment to measure and test people's reaction times. They can use any equipment available in the school/classroom, and will need to consider the reliability of their experiment and how any data collected will be analysed and presented.

Recycling

The work suggested in this Nuffield Working with Science unit helps to make students aware of the inevitable need to recycle materials and of the practical and economic difficulties in the way of doing more at the moment.

Refurbishing a room

This collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Decision maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

This ‘Refurbishing a room’ resource is an...

Researching and planning bioassays

This A2 level Applied Science resource guides students to research, select and use bioassay techniques to investigate the action and potency of common medicines. There are suggested methods to select from and adapt, questions to research and guidance on risk assessment that needs to take place. 

Researching and planning chemical assays

This A2 level Applied Science resource guides students to research, select and use quantitative chemical analysis techniques to assay the active ingredient of common medicines. There are suggested methods to select from, questions and guided steps for calculations involved. The resource also contains student sheets...
