Longman Physics Topics for 11-14 Year Olds
These books from the Longman Physics Topics series were written for students in the first three years of secondary education. The authors aimed to write books that were easy to read and copiously illustrated and showed how the principles studied in school were applied in the outside world. The books were not intended to be textbooks. They were essentially books for students to browse in, take up points which might catch their interest and possibly pursue further.
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment.
Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date.
Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work.

Crystals
This book was one in the Longman Physics Topics series. It was written to provide background material for the work on crystals in the first year of the Nuffield Physics course. The ideas introduced ranged well beyond those likely to have been touched on in class, and it was hoped that the questions raised would impel the students…
Forces
This book was one in the Longman Physics Topics series. It was written to provide background material for the work on forces mainly in the second year of the Nuffield Physics course. The aim was to help students to appreciate the importance of forces in everyday life and begin to explain how they come about, thus laying the foundation…
Heat
This book was one in the Longman Physics Topics series. It was written to provide background material for the work on heat in the second year of the Nuffield Physics course. The book explores the story of the atomic and molecular theory of matter with the aid of appropriate models. It adopts the energy transformation account of energy…
Magnetism
This book was one in the Longman Physics Topics series. It was written to provide background material for the work on magnetism in the third year of the Nuffield Physics course. This book presupposed little previous knowledge and thus could be useful for any student as an introduction to the subject. The inclusion of some more advanced…
Materials
This book was one in the Longman Physics Topics series. It was written to provide background material for the work on materials in the first year of the Nuffield Physics course. The aim was to help students to appreciate the importance of the various materials in everyday life and begin to explain some of their properties, thus…
Pressures
This book was one in the Longman Physics Topics series. It was written to provide background material for the work on forces and pressures in the first two years of the Nuffield Physics course. The aim was to help students to appreciate the importance of pressure in everyday life. Emphasis was placed on the practical applications…
Using Light
This book was one in the Longman Physics Topics series. It was written to provide background material for the work on ray optics in the third year of the Nuffield Physics course. In the ray optics section of the course, students investigated in the laboratory the basic principles behind telescopes and microscopes. This book was written…
Waves
This book was one in the Longman Physics Topics series. It was written to provide background material for the work on waves and ripple tanks in the third year of the Nuffield Physics course. The book emphasises the importance of waves in communication and covers both light and sound waves. The book was first published in 1972…
