Powerpoint for IB Physics unit 1 with 15 slides covering scalars and vectors, resolving vectors, then manipulating non-linear relationships to produce straight-line graphs. Various examples included and a link to a useful video clip.

Powerpoint for section 1.4 of the Astrophysics option topic. Contains 16 slides covering the theory of resolution of telescopes, the Rayleigh criterion and an example calculation. Applications discussed include DVDs and Blue-ray discs and large aperture radio telescopes.

Powerpoint showing step-by-step how double-slit diffraction patterns are formed, including a few questions with answers.

Powerpoint containing 18 slides covering balanced and unbalanced forces, definition of resultant force, Newton's Second Law and sample calculations and then discussion and video about skydiving to introduce the concept of terminal velocity, which should be taught in the next lesson.

Powerpoint covering a detailed description of the structure of nuclear power stations, then states advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power. Final slides cover the description of nuclear fusion and conditions needed for it to become viable.

Powerpoint for the second lesson in the Particles and Nuclides topic of the new specification AQA AS physics course. Objectives covered include describing the strong force, the variation of the force with distance, then describing the different methods of detecting radiation.

Powerpoint covering the description of images formed by convex and concave lenses. Steps through the ray tracing process for both types of lenses.

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.

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 all the lesson objectives in Unit 1 of the Edexcel B2 topic The Building Blocks of Cells. Topics included are: - Animal and Plant Cells - Microscopy - DNA, Genetic Engineering and HGP - Mitosis, Meiosis and Cloning - Stem Cells and Mutations - Protein Manufacture, Catalysts and Enzymes

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.

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.

Powerpoint for the first lesson in the IB Diploma physics course. Contains 13 slides covering orders of magnitude, fundamental and derived units, homogeneity and dimensional analysis.

Powerpoint covering the year 8 physics topic of Light. There are 38 slides covering how light travels, reflection, refraction, dispersion, how we see colour and how coloured filters work.

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).

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.
