Classroom display on the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

I made a PowerPoint a few years back on how to make a resistor with pencils. Here are (differentiated) instructions explaining to students how to carry out the investigation. Included is the original publisher file if you want to edit it. If you don't have publisher a PDF is also included! To do this experiment you will need a digital multimeter that can measure resistance.

Revision worksheet for NOT, AND, OR, NAND and NOR gates. Also revision problem for combining logic gates. Includes answer sheet.

Revision sheet for students to revise: - Converging and Diverging lenses - Ray Diagrams - Properties and uses of lenses Includes answers and worked solutions

Introductory resource describing the features of the structure of the Earth. Suitable for topic 1 - Planet Earth (topic 1.3) Includes lesson slides and worksheet.

Powerpoint slides explaining what a potential divider is, and explaining step by step how we derrive the equations for a potential divider. With an investigation suggestion for potential dividers. Worksheet included with 4 KS5 questions on potential dividers, and mark scheme with worked solutions.

If you are teaching the life cycle in stars in GCSE/IGCSE physics, GCSE Astronomy or the astrophysics options of IB or A Level. I have embedded videos from Crash Course Astronomy, in to the the life cycle of stars diagram.

One sided worksheet with questions on stellar distances and calculations involving the parallax method. With worked solutions.

Aimed for non-specialist physics teachers (or new teachers) who are teaching GCSE physics. A guided walk-though of how to measure the specific heat capacity of different metals. Includes teacher instruction sheet, and a student investigation sheet.

One side revision guide covering the definitions of Specific Heat Capacity and Latent heat. With three common examples and worked solutions

Students use their knowledge of Newton’s Law of Gravitation and circular motion to answer the following question: How many times a day do astronauts on the International Space Station see the sun rise? With worked solution.

1 page revision guide on kinematics (suvat equations) with two practice problems.

Attached is everything you will need to teach a lesson (with a class practical or demonstration) on transformers. Using a multimeter that can measure AC voltage (available at places like Maplins), and a set of transformer coils (available from Phillip Harris) students measure the voltage across the primary and secondary coil of a transformer. Included are student instructions, guided questions, and teacher set up instructions. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MULTIMETER THAT CAN MEASURE AC VOLTAGE BEFORE PURCHASING! See cover image for all equipment you will need!

Two pages that help students structure how to write a scientific investigation. The aim of the investigation is to determine the refractive index of a perspex block.

Mainly used as an introduction in IB Theory of Knowledge but could be applied to geography. Students analyse and draw their own maps to understand better their cultural perspective on the world.

1page of revision notes for A Level and IB Physics students covering Leptons.

1 page revision notes of pumped storage and GPE to KE notes for IB Physics topic 8.1. Suitable for A level and GCSE
