Powerpoint covering all the content for the Sound and Hearing topic taught in Year 8. There are 29 slides covering the definition of sound and echoes, animation showing what is meant by longitudinal waves, description of how musical instruments produce sound, graphs to show change in pitch and change in volume, definition of the Decibel, the human hearing range, ultrasound and noise and methods of reducing noise. Structured to be delivered easily within about 5 lessons, allowing time for some related experiments (e.g. tuning forks, signal generator to test hearing range).

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

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 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.

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 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 covering Kinetic Theory assumptions, the Gas Laws and comparisons between ideal and real gases for the Thermal Physics topic of AQA A level physics. Powerpoint includes links to several animations.

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.

Document showing absorption and emission line spectra in simple terms.

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

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 AQA AS Physics, Combinations of Waves topic, covering the theory and applications of lasers. Includes a link to a very useful PHet simulation.

Powerpoint for revising KS3 Electricity topic in year 8 or 9. Covers electrical circuits symbols, series and parallel circuits, UK plugs and electromagnets. Also useful for introduction to Electricity topic in GCSE physics course.

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

Mini-test of definitions included in the first section of the Waves topic of the AQA AS Level Physics course. Answers included, shown in red, which can be removed to give the test to students.

Document showing various diagrams of dispersion in optical fibres and differences between different types of optical fibres.

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.
