This is the first of three lessons that introduce the idea of logarithms
The PowerPoint takes students through the difficulties in graphing data of wide ranging numbers and then, using the E-M spectrum and H-R diagrams, shows how log-log graphs can be used to display this data.
This is part of the essential mathematics skills needed for A-Level Physics
iGCSE Physics PowerPoint that covers the topics of conduction and convection. This 18 page powerpoint explains the two methods of thermal transfer, goes through a science classroom experiment for each and links to insulation with a third experiment fully explained. There are also links with weather patterns and a discussion of the four variables that control conductive transfer rates.
This is the second of 6 topics in this units of work and is aimed at covering approximately 3 hours of teaching, including the experiments.
This bundle contains four PowerPoints that cover the sub-section of the BTec Engineering course “Fluid systems” including:
Describing Fluid Systems
Hydrostatic Pressure
Immersed Bodies
Fluid Flow in Pipes
This is a bundle of six lessons and includes:
Six individual lesson powerpoints
Six lesson plans showing step by step how to cover the topic of simple harmonic motion
Links to the syllabus (2015 onwards) from AQA
Contains information for required practical #7 powerpoint and documentation from AQA
This is a 10 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of Resistors in both series and parallel circuits. This PowerPoint includes circuit diagrams and worked examples of the resistance, current and voltage calculations needed for basic circuits.
This is the fifth PowerPoint in this section (Electricity and circuits).
v1.01 (18th Nov 2020) - Minor corrections
v1.02 (Nov 2021) - Minor improvements
iGCSE - Refraction of light and refractive index
This lesson covers the refraction of light and the calculation of refractive index when passing from air into transparent materials. This lesson also demonstrates the experiment that can be performed, step-by-step with animation. There are also two examples of light entering and exiting other shapes (prism and edge of a square) which can cause pupils issues in exams.
This bundle contains seven PowerPoints that cover the sub-section of the BTec Engineering course “DC Circuits and Electricity” including:
• Electric Fields
• Capacitors and Capacitance
• Resistors and Resistance
• Diodes in Circuits
• Resistors in series and parallel
• Capacitors in series and parallel
• Sources of Direct Current
iGCSE Physics PowerPoint that covers the topic of thermal radiation. This 14 page powerpoint explains how thermal radiation (infrared) is absorbed and emitted from different surfaces. Two experiments are explained in detail as well as the results from the Leslie cube demonstration including a FLIR photo. A vacuum flask diagram is also explained and links back to the previous lesson on conduction and convection. Common misconceptions are also highlighted.
This is the third of 6 topics in this units of work and is aimed at covering approximately 2-3 hours of teaching, including the experiments.
