Using trolley on slope method to investigate how acceleration can be measured using different experimental techniques- suitable for SQA National 5 Physics or GCSE (iGCSE) Physics (HT only).<br />
(Note: This is a template and needs to be redone to suit actual experiments, so have included original docs for re-edit as required).<br />
A single doc file listing the mandatory outcomes for each unit in the newer SQA Higher Physics curriculum. Feel free to re-edit as required, I have listed the outcomes based on the original updated spec. for the course published Jun 2014.<br />
A pdf file with indexed links to material covering the complete new CfE Higher Physics curriculum for teachers and students. The links point to individual files supported on the open educational LTS (Learning Teaching Scotland site) which permits use of its resources for non-profit distribution.
I have put this short calculator guide together for teachers and tutors to guide students on purchasing calculators for A-Level or SQA Maths exams; the use of calculators in exam centers is controlled by JCQ rules as shown in the guide. Prices shown are typical for new devices, savings can be made by buying second hand.
A practical demonstration of radiation physics awareness for junior school students.<br />
Using commonly available sources of UV (lamps and torches), together with fluorescent materials, allowed me to plan and present an interactive activity for primary school students. This is safe and fun and very educational as not many resources of this nature are around. It requires a good knowledge of the physics of the Sun and EM radiation as well as applicable health-physics- suited mainly to science classes in primary schools is easily upgraded to high-school student participation or astronomy clubs and such. Contact myself for any technical information.<br />
PS will be adding Thermal Imaging diagnostics with suitable InfraRed camera!
