Nuffield Centre ~ Physics & Biology websites

September 26, 2008

The Nuffield Curriculum Centre has recently added two useful websites for Science teachers to use in the classroom.

The Practical Biology website allows teachers to download a wide range of experiments to illustrate concepts and processes that should work in any school laboratory.

Practical Physics also experiments for teachers to use in the Physics Laboratory. There are also videos of different experiments online.

The aim of the centre is to explore new approaches to teaching and learning by developing, managing and supporting curriculum projects.  Main areas of interest include Science, Mathematics, Design and Technology and Citizenship and exploring the creative use of ICT to support teaching and learning in these fields.
