It is intended for all science teachers but particularly those who are not physics specialists. It is, primarily, aimed at 14 to 16 year old pupils but can also be used at a higher level as a precursor to a more in-depth study of this topic. Normally, the activities would fill a 60 minute lesson but could be spread over two lessons if needs be.
