The pdf file allows students to independently learn and practise the A-level series and parallel resistance equations. Students use this pdf file on iPads/ phones. The emphasis is on student independence in the classroom. You should be able to put your feet up while students teach themselves this topic for 10-15mins. The file contains 61 hyperlinked slides with lots of questions to test their learning as they go along. Think of it as a very interactive text book.
Performance will vary through different apps and platforms. The Adobe Acrobat Reader is optimal on “single page view”, Outlook and OneNote are inferior.
Also available as interactive eBooks;
GCSE Energy
GCSE Radioactivity
Young Modulus eBook task
Moments of Inertia
pV graphs for Engineering
