Mainly used as an introduction in IB Theory of Knowledge but could be applied to geography. Students analyse and draw their own maps to understand better their cultural perspective on the world.
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.
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!
This is approximately a 2 hour research project for the IKS Area of Knowledge for the TOK course for the IB Diploma.
Students should work in groups to complete the activities in the first two activity sheets, using the mind map template to help structure their arguments. They should then individually complete the personal reflection activity.
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.
An editable word document that Theory of Knowledge students can use to help guide them through the process of extracting a knowledge question from a real life situation.
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).

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.
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.
Powerpoint slides on energy production, with revision sheets for students on energy production, fossil fuels, pumped storage, wind generators and solar energy.
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.
