Aimed at IB DP students studying topic 8, but also suitable for A Level physics and higher ability GCSE/IGCSE students: Presentation and questions covering: Energy sources, renewable and non-renewable energy sources, efficiency, Sankey diagrams, energy density, specific heat capacity.

Lesson slides on coulombs law, as well as a set of questions with answers.

Lesson slide and group activity for knowledge and the knower section of TOK.

Student activity to model the random nature of radioactive decay. Each group (2 to 3 students) will need a pack of skittles or m&ms. Document includes student instructions, table template and graph template for students to record their data.

Worksheet for year 7-9 on what an atom is made up of, and how to read the periodic table.

A worksheet aimed to teach students how to convert from Kelvin to Celsius and vice versa. Students have to calculate the surface temperature of planets in the Solar System, and then plot a graph of distance from the Sun v temperature. Then use the graph to answer questions.

Three high quality images (printable to at least A3 size) to display the equations and uses of Newton's Law of Gravitation. A PowerPoint of the images along with worked examples. The worked examples are included as a stand alone worksheet as well. (Answers to worksheet are on the PowerPoint).

Revision guide on fossil fuels and energy and efficiency, includes sankey diagrams. For IB physics, but suitable for IGCSE, GCSE and A Level

Two page revision guide the conservation of energy. Types of energy, kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy. Includes practice question, worked questions, and answer page for practice questions.

2 page worksheet (with answers) for IGCSE/GCSE physics. Problems are on SI units, converting units, calculating volume of a regular shape and calculating density.

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.

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.

17 jpg images on the Solar System. Explaining some of the bits of the Solar System are often forgotten! All images are courtesy of NASA and are free to reuse for commercial and non commercial uses.

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

Practical on how to measure the refractive index of a perspex or glass block. Step by step instructions (with lots of images) included on how to set up the experiment, as well as slide show of images showing how to set up the experiment for your class. Also included are student instructions.

A revision booklet for KS5 or KS4 Electricity, focusing on the potential divider.

High quality images and displays for AS/A2 and IB Physics particicle physics topics. Includes displays of the particle zoo, feynman diagrams and the rules for the laws of conservation. Included with the images are editable PowerPoint files.
