Powerpoint covering the content for several lessons of the AQA AS Level Physics Waves topic. Also relevant to the P3 Topic 1 content of GCSE course. The theory covered includes Total Internal Reflection and the significance of the critical angle, the structure of optical fibres and their applications, dispersion problems in optical fibres and how different types overcome those problems.

Powerpoint for AQA AS Level Physics Waves topic, covering the theory of refraction, Snell's law with a few worked examples and details of a simple refraction experiment to allow students to investigate refraction.

Notes with relevant diagrams covering the Particle Physics content of the AQA AS Level Physics course.

Powerpoint covering the content for the third lesson for the AQA A Level Year 2 Capacitors topic. Covers the application of capacitors and the theory of how to calculate the energy stored in capacitors. Link to a useful video embedded.

Powerpoint covering the content for the second lesson in the AQA A Level Year 2 Capacitors topic.

Powerpoint covering the content for the first of the lessons for the AQA Year 2 A Level Capacitors topic. Includes 3 practice questions at the end of the lesson followed by solutions with the relevant working shown.

A Powerpoint covering the theory about Specific Heat Capacity for the AQA A Level Physics Thermal Physics topic. Also suitable for the Thermal Physics topic for IB Physics. Includes practice questions and answers.

AQA A Level Physics Year 2 - Thermal Physics - Word document containing mathematical derivation of the Ideal Gas Equation with description of each stage.

Powerpoint covering the content of the first lesson for the Unit 5 Radioactivity topic of the EdExcel GCSE Additional Physics course (P2). Objectives covered include: - structure of the atom - relative size and charges of components of the atom - definition of isotopes (includes a table for students to complete as an activity - answers provided) - comparing the three types of radioactive decay.

Word document for the AQA AS physics course, giving the year 12 course outline and details of the AS exams. Useful for the students to use in preparation for their mock exams and again when revising for the actual AS exams in the summer.

Powerpoint covering the content for the second lesson of the EdExcel P2 Unit 5 Radioactivity course. Content includes description of background radiation, description and animation of nuclear fission and diagram explaining how this leads to a chain reaction. Slides also describe the roles of control rods, moderator and coolant in nuclear reactor cores.

Document showing ionsiation and excitation, some basic descriptions and space for additional notes to be added.

Powerpoint covering the content of two lessons for topic 1 of EdExcel P3 physics, including labelled diagram of the human eye and description of the function of each component, descriptions of how concave and convex lenses are used in vision correction. Step-by-step description of the different images that can be produced by convex lenses, clearly showing the relevant rays. Also useful as the starter for the AQA Unit 10 Medical Physics option topic. The first section of that option covers the physics of the eye and vision defect correction using lenses.

Powerpoint containing a cartoon video of a car moving and slowing down for students to log data and then plot a graph. The completed graph is then shown and step-by-step instructions are shown to explain how to analyse graphs to work out the type of motion. Final slide shows how speed is calculated using a distance-time graph.

Powerpoint for revising KS3 (year 8) physics topic of Heating and Cooling. Content includes the differences between heat and temperature, phase changes, methods of heat transfer, heat loss from houses and methods for reducing them. Also useful as introduction to Energy topic in the new GCSE specification.

Powerpoint for the first lesson in the Particles and Nuclides topic of the new specification AS level physics course. Covers the alpha-scattering experiment and the development of the atomic model.

Powerpoints covering the content for KS3 topic of Pressure and Moments, including definitions and worked examples of pressure, moments and hydraulics.

Test for units 4 (SL Waves) and 9 (HL Wave Phenomena), consisting of 20 marks of multiple choice questions and 22 marks of descriptive and calculation questions. Total of 42 marks, designed to be completed within a lesson. The document includes the marking scheme on the last 3 pages.

Powerpoint covering the content for objective 10.4.3 of the AQA A level Medical Physics option. There are 18 slides covering the theory behind the precession of hydrogen nuclei, how RF pulses make the nuclei change their spin state and how the subsequent relaxation allows images to be created. Images courtesy of IOP.

Test for Capacitors topic including 10 multiple choice questions and 32 marks worth of longer calculation exam-style questions. Cover the whole Capacitors topic and makes a 42 mark test, which should be completed in 55 minutes and therefore ideal for a class-based test. Includes the marking scheme.
