One of six PowerPoint presentations for the Medical Physics unit of A-level OCR Physics A, matched to the Oxford OCR A-Level Physics A textbook. This PPT covers the production of X-rays. Please note that the TES software that produces thumbnail images doesn’t always seem to handle background images in PPT slides very well. If the thumbnails look odd on your display, that is not how they really look! Please take a look at the Ultrasound presentation instead. See it in action: https://youtu.be/c_EGD1kjUWE

One of six PowerPoint presentations for the Medical Physics unit of A-level OCR Physics A, matched to the Oxford OCR A-Level Physics A textbook.

A PowerPoint presentation introducing A-level students to the concept of mass-energy equivalence, binding energy, fission and fusion. Following the OCR Physics A specification, but physics is physics, so suitable for all courses! One of a bundle of presentations on different aspects of nuclear physics. Please note that TES’s software doesn’t always seem to generate accurate thumbnail images of PPTs with background images, so if the preview images look odd on your display they aren’t indicative of what the slides actually look like.

A PowerPoint presentation introducing A-level students to the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Covering the OCR Physics A specification, but physics is physics, so suitable for all courses! One of a bundle of presentations on different aspects of nuclear physics. Please note that TES’s software doesn’t always seem to generate accurate thumbnail images of PPTs with background images, so if the preview images look odd on your display they aren’t indicative of what the slides actually look like.

A PowerPoint to introduce students to the scale of atoms and the nucleus, including how to estimate the diameter of an atom from density measurements, how alpha particle scattering leads to the size of the nucleus, calculations of the density of nuclear material and some background to relative atomic mass and the atomic mass unit. Aimed primarily at A-level students (and following the OCR Physics A specification), but could be used in parts with GCSE students also. One of a bundle of presentations on different aspects of nuclear physics. Please note that TES’s software doesn’t always seem to generate accurate thumbnail images of PPTs with background images, so if the preview images look odd on your display they aren’t indicative of what the slides actually look like.

A light-hearted silly story to introduce GCSE students to the concept of radioactive carbon dating. Use as part of a wider lesson. The story will take about 10 minutes to tell and explain, before you move on to more challenging examples.

A no-nonesense student-friendly summary of the Physics Required Practicals for AQA GCSE Physics and GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy): Physics.  Perfect for consolidation after each practical and revision for the exams at the end. Please note that the black and white PPT thunbnail below is automatically generated by the TES website and are not actually what the slides look like – all the formatting has been lost. 😡

A set of four posters showing the Physics equations that students need to memorise for the GCSE Physics / GCSE Combined Science exams. The style is simple and clean and the posters can be printed up to A1 size without loss of quality, so students will be able to read them wherever they are sat in the room. Put a set in every lab and down the corridor outside, too! Or print and laminate A4/A3 copies and spread them on desks as placemats.
