EVERYTHING you need to teach this topic. Presentations, worksheets, practicals and revision material. Very useful for A level too. Great value for money for the amount of work you will save.

Includes a short video by the author explaining the EM spec - great for a "flipped" lesson. 34 files included for this price.
