An interactive resource for the teaching of lens ray-diagrams at both GCSE and A-level (designed for AQA specifications but will be useful for any general optics course).<br /> <br /> This EXCEL spreadsheet features a large and easy-to-see fully interactive display (zoom-able to fit your screen), showing: object; lens (both convex and concave); up to 2 construction rays and the image (both real and virtual); changeable input values; calculated output values and full qualitative description of image displayed. <br /> <br /> Note 1: this version is a reduced version of the full version and has many of the other useful features disabled (see document 'full version features')<br /> <br /> Note 2: Ensure you have 'macros' enabled on your computer.

A suite of four, fully interactive macro-enabled EXCEL spreadsheet simulations to introduce the reading of values and scales from the following instruments: micrometer, vernier-calliper, multimeter and oscilloscope.<br /> Ideal for the practical skills sections of the new A-level specifications or engineering courses.<br /> Each simulator boasts a full screen interactive realistic display, allowing both user input or randomly generated values/settings. Values, units and displays can also be hidden/revealed - ideal for quick testing of students' ability to read the instrument accurately.<br /> All displays can also be quickly exported as JPEG images allowing resources such as worksheets to be easily produced (example included).<br /> N.B These spreadsheets require EXCEL to be macros-enabled.

An interactive resource for the teaching of lens ray-diagrams.<br /> <br /> Features include: large and easy-to-see fully interactive display (zoom-able to fit your screen), showing: object; lens (both convex and concave); up to 3 construction rays and the image (both real and virtual); changeable input values; calculated output values and full qualitative description of image displayed. There are also six preset ray-diagram configurations that can be instantly displayed.<br /> <br /> All ray-diagram elements (individual construction rays and images), as well as all calculated values and descriptions, can be displayed/hidden via individual checkboxes allowing full interaction.<br /> <br /> Diagrams/screens can be exported as JPEG for use in other applications.

Suitable for introducing practical techniques for A-level Physics.<br /> <br /> The resources include a powerpoint presentation and accompanying activity worksheet for the introduction and use of a micrometer screw-gauge. <br /> <br /> Includes large, easy-to-see diagrams of the vernier scale plus examples. <br /> <br />

For GCSE Physics: An interactive spreadsheet showing the relationship between ultrasound 'A-scans' and 'B-scans'. <br /> <br /> Click on B-scan image to see corresponding A-scan at different locations.<br /> <br /> Note: this spreadsheet uses macros, so please ensure your excel security setting has 'macros enabled'.

This is user information about the 'A-level Physics Measuring-Instruments Simulator Pack', available in the 'premium resource' section. <br /> The pack includes a suite of four fully interactive macro-enabled EXCEL spreadsheet simulations to introduce the reading of values and scales from the following instruments: micrometer, vernier-calliper, multimeter and oscilloscope. These are ideal for the practical skills section of the new A-level specifications, as well as engineering courses.<br /> Information sheet, screenshots and an example worksheet (prepared using the 'export diagram' function in each simulator) are downloadable here for free.
