Advance level Physics teachers rejoice! Here is a double sided worksheet packed with newtonian dynamics problems. It starts off with some simple questions before taxing students’ brains with situations involving inclined planes, mad scientists in lifts (elevators to our north american chums) and runaway hospital beds.
It is all rounded off with a fiendishly hard extension task to keep even your brightest of students off your backs, I mean engaged. Complete with FULLY SOLVED ANSWERS, you don’t even have to bother marking it yourself. It’s tough being a teacher in the modern world. Ease your work load whilst ensuring student progress. Science Geeks, here to help! Enjoy!
A worksheet packed with investigations making use of simple series and parallel circuits. It aims to develop an understanding of the difference in behaviour between series and parallel circuits and how current is affected as more components are added.
