Unit 6D Controllable Vehicles

From the Nuffield foundation this resource looks at control systems, their design and uses.

Developed from the QCA scheme of work, children design and make a control system for an electric vehicle. In the activity, children are challenged to produce a vehicle, powered by an electric motor, that can go in...

Unit 7: Magnetic Fields

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...

Unit 8: Electromagnetic Waves

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit was about light as a wave motion. It represented the culmination of one line of thought in the course as a whole, for in it, earlier work on waves, on electric fields, and on magnetic fields came together in a (simplified) description...

Unit 9: Change and Chance

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit was presented as a single volume for teachers and students. The aim was to make the ideas behind the Second Law of Thermodynamics intelligible to students at school. The approach was through the statistics of molecular chaos, because...

Unit I1: s-Block Elements

s-Block Elements was one of the inorganic chemistry units in the Independent Learning Project for Advanced Chemistry (ILPAC) scheme that was sponsored by the Inner London Education Authority and first published by John Murray in 1983. This was a study guide, not a...

Unit I2: The Halogens *suitable for home teaching*

The Halogens was one of the inorganic chemistry units in the Independent Learning Project for Advanced Chemistry (ILPAC) scheme that was sponsored by the Inner London Education Authority and first published by John Murray in 1983. This was a study guide, not a textbook...
