A Powerpoint display addressing Archimedes’ Principle including an experiment to find the reduction in weight of an object when submerged in water and the weight of the water displaced.
The Powerpoint contains a video of the experiment and a table that can be used by students.
A spreadsheet in which the highest score possible in any test is entered and the percentage value of all scores are listed for easy reference. Saves calculating each student’s individual percentage.
A set of six Powerpoint files for teaching and six supporting sets of questions, with a test included, to support the AQA A Level Physics option Engineering Physics.
Experimental sheet for an experiment to find the latent heat of vaporization of water. Includes apparatus, images of set up and spaces for recording information.
Instruction sheet for an experiment, including photograph of the set up, apparatus and calculation, to find the Specific Heat Capacity of a Metal Block
Experimental sheet for an experiment to find the latent heat of fusion of water. Includes apparatus, simple diagram of set up and spaces for recording information.
Experimental sheet for an experiment to find the latent heat of fusion of water. Includes apparatus, simple diagram of set up and spaces for recording information.
To find the specific heat capacity my the method of mixtures. Specific heat capacity can be found by comparison to known values rather than the usual method of using an electric heater. This worksheet gives a method, which can be adapted, and gaps to fill in concluding with the appropriate calculation.
A4 worksheet detailing a method for using six sided dice to model radioactive decay and Half Life. Includes full instructions and a results table together with instructions for drawing a graph and reading the Half Life of the dice.
An A4 page with a selection of physical quantities for A Level Physics students to estimate. Resource includes a sheet both with and without answers. This allows students to gain an appreciation of scale, use standard form and learn about wider world around them.
A worksheet of data and questions. The data provided gives typical energy values provided by different foods and energy used undertaking certain activities with questions regarding energy intake and use.
A worksheet to teach pupils to READ instructions first. Contains a worksheet that has 20 random and often pointless instructions that, if the first instruction - to read ALL instructions, and the last - only follow instructions 1 & 2, allows pupils to watch others NOT following instructions by completing the random / pointless tasks.
A series of six pictures, three for oil/gas and three for coal, to cut out, place in order and stick in to show the natural production of coal, oil and gas in the Earth’s crust.
Finding the number of tracks on a CD using diffraction grating theory. A CD acts as a reflective diffraction grating. Using the theory learned for diffraction gratings, a bulb, battery and ruler the number of tracks on a CD can be calculated.
Worksheet: Cut and Stick exercise matching Heat Transfer Mechanisms for Conduction, Convection, Evaporation and Condensation including Name, Mechanism and Medium in which it occurs. Answer sheet also included.
To help with the concepts of momentum, Newton’s Second law and Impulse students find the force with which they kick a ball via impact time and SUVAT equations.
Experiment: Acceleration due to gravity, g, with a jet of water.
Using a jet of water from a pipette dropper or other jet, SUVAT equations and fluid flow g can be calculated.
Law of Reflection using light video demonstration using a standard school ray lamp and a protractor to allow students to record values or for a teacher to demonstrate the practical.
