Aimed at IB DP students studying topic 8, but also suitable for A Level physics and higher ability GCSE/IGCSE students:
Presentation and questions covering:
Energy sources, renewable and non-renewable energy sources, efficiency, Sankey diagrams, energy density, specific heat capacity.
High quality images and displays for AS/A2 and IB Physics particicle physics topics. Includes displays of the particle zoo, feynman diagrams and the rules for the laws of conservation. Included with the images are editable PowerPoint files.
Three high quality images (printable to at least A3 size) to display the equations and uses of Newton's Law of Gravitation. A PowerPoint of the images along with worked examples. The worked examples are included as a stand alone worksheet as well. (Answers to worksheet are on the PowerPoint).
Instructions on how to use a marshmallow and a syringe to demonstrate the principle of Boyle's Law (p1V1 = p2V1)
Links to video instructions are on the sheet as well.
This guide will show you how to download the Vernier Graphical Analysis app for your (and your students') iPhone, iPad and Android tablets and phones.
It will also show you how to manually record data on the app, and how to share the data so that it can be processed in Excel.
Research activity for Year 7 students. Students research about the adaptations of the plants and animals of the Namib Desert.
The activity requires students to research, and then present their findings in a poster. Included is a writing frame to help students structure their research.
Students can use a QR scanner on their phone (QR apps are free to download for Android and iPhone), and it will take them to pages with information.
Included is the original PowerPoint that you can adapt, some images of the animals and plants in the task, as well as a pdf of the powerpoint if you want to share it directly with your students, so they can read it on their computers. The pdf also has clickable links.
Using the film (and book) 'The Martian' as a theme, this A3 sheet asks questions based on Newton's Law of Gravitation.
Aimed at KS5 Students. Original publisher file attached, as well as a pdf in case you do not have Publisher installed.
Images from the classic practical of looking at cheek cells and onion cells through a microscope. I use this after doing the practical (in case students can't get theirs to work) as a way of identifying key features of the cell. Aimed at KS3
Presentation and displays of the history of manned spaceflight in the US. This is the first part and covers the Mercury and Gemini program from 1961 to 1966.
All images are courtesy of NASA and are public domain.
Quick set of research questions for KS3 students about magnetic fields, the aim is for them to produce a powerpoint or presentation on as many questions as possible.
A worksheet aimed to teach students how to convert from Kelvin to Celsius and vice versa. Students have to calculate the surface temperature of planets in the Solar System, and then plot a graph of distance from the Sun v temperature. Then use the graph to answer questions.
This is an introduction to parallel and series circuits for non specialist physics teacher. Included with the powerpoint slide is a worksheet, and how to set up the practical, with troubleshooting.
The jpeg files are previews of the slides and what the equipment looks like.
Great resource for newly qualified science teachers, student teachers and non specialists.
