Revision guide for wind generators in topic 8 of IB physics.

I use this with a middle to high ability year 9 group, but could be used with low ability KS4 group. \n\nActivity that explains the key points of what is free fall, and also how we work out weight using g. \n\nI find the activity lasts around an hour or so.\n\nI am always looking to improve my resources, so please leave feedback! Thanks!

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.

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

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!

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.

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).

The first three lesson slides from my IB physics lessons on Energy Power and Climate Change. Including the IB Style questions I ask the students at the end of each lesson, and a research task on energy sources.

Designed for my school's &'activities week&';. Students should get into groups of 5 or so, and be given a space agency from a country participating in this years world cup. \n\nStudents need to build a 'lander&' for their country that will allow an egg to survive &';re entry', as well as produce a poster/presentation on the history/achievements of their countries space agency.\n\nStudents should spend around 1 hour to 1.5 hours on this, including testing time for the lander

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.

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.

Introduction for relativity, starting with Galilean transformations, and the postulates of special relativivity. Taken from my resources for IB Physics options on Relativity, but suitable for any sixth form or high school physics on relativity.

This is an introduction to parallel and series circuits for non specialsit physics teacher. Included with the powerpoint slide is a worksheet, and how to set up the practical, with troubleshooting. The jpeg files are previews of the slides and what the equipment looks like. Great resource for NQTs, PGCE students and non specialists.

A set of A4 size posters to explain some of the key words needed for science experiments. (Precision, accuracy, errors, variables etc) Included is a PowerPoint version which can be added to and edited. A pdf version which you can print out with the fonts I've used. And also one of the slides as a preview. There are 7 slides (posters) three with images. All images are creative commons, which can be reused for commercial purposes.

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.

I made a powerpoint with easy to read font for all the possible command terms in science exams (SATs, GCSEs, AS/A Levels). However, I am certain these command terms are also applicable to many other non-science subjects. There are 25 command terms with definitions, on A4 landscape pages. An example of one of the command terms is below: State: Give a specific name, value or other brief answer. (No supporting argument or calculation is needed) Included is the original powerpoint to add to/edit. As you may not have the font I used installed it will just show up in Arial. I've included a pdf copy as well which will have the font I used on it. I picked the font, as normally these type of displays are written in comic sans to make them easy to read, but I detest that font! This font, named 'complete in him' is easy to read for dyslexic students (I have surveyed some of my students who are dyslexic, and I am also dyslexic)

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.
