A short training presentation for teachers. It introduces Classroom to those unfamiliar to it, and also, when used with a school’s whole staff (experienced with Classroom or not), it can help to bring consistency to implementation and thereby make the students’ experience of using Classroom a little smoother. This updated version reflects the changes made to Classroom in August 2018.

A set of four posters showing the Physics equations that students need to memorise for the GCSE Physics / GCSE Combined Science exams. These are presented as four small .jpg images suitable for students to put on their phones. Convince them to change their wallpaper?! A1 resolution print versions suitable for your classroom/corridor displays are also available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-physics-equations-posters-11832243

A PowerPoint presentation introducing A-level students to the concept of beta minus decay, beta plus decay, electron capture, neutrinos and the weak interaction. 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.

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 and use of ultrasound. 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! See it in use: https://youtu.be/Dvqbopuajb0

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 use of the Doppler effect in ultrasound measurements of blood flow. 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/rv07hLSgc58

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 use of tracers and the detection of the gamma rays (including PET). Please note that the TES software that produces thumbnail images doesn’t always seem to handle background images in PPT slides very well.

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 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. 😡

6-minute video leading students through the derivation of the four Equations of Motion for objects moving with constant acceleration (SUVAT), starting from a velocity-time graph and then using the gradient and the area under the graph (and a little algebraic manipulation) to arrive at the set of four. Great for some flipped learning, a little revision or some consolidation.

A simple yet rigorous mathematical derivation of the centripetal acceleration formula, a=(v^2)/r, including that the direction is towards the centre of the circle. Use as a handout for A-level students who want to push themselves a little beyond the specification without getting out of their depth.

A companion document to the full "ENERGY/PARTICLES/FORCES unit summaries/checklists for AQA GCSE Physics". This shortened version contains only the material that students need to revise for Physics Paper 1.
