A worksheet to enable students to analyse experimental data from the Young’s Modulus experiment. I’ve made a video of the experiment here youtu.be/xASsYJo3zrM . The data collected in the video can be used to complete a table and graph. Then the graph can be analysed to determine E. There are links from the PDF directly to the relevant part of the data collection in the video for anyone using the worksheet electronically. There are solutions at the end. Perfect for A-level physics students on any specification. This worksheet is ideal for home learning since it has an accompanying video explanation of the experiment, the analysis of results and solutions to all questions are included in the document.

An activity to guide students through the analysis of real planetary data (orbit radius and period) to see if it is consistent with Kepler’s Third Law. Includes: A worksheet (PDF) for students with complete instructions. This can be issued to students as independent work in class or at home. Space is provided for working out and writing answers to the questions. A Numbers¹ spreadsheet with solutions. There is an Incomplete tab, which can be projected whilst introducing the activity if desired. The Complete tab has all the solutions to aid the teacher as they work through it with the class. Solutions include results computed directly from the data using spreadsheet formulae and a separate table in which results from a hand drawn graph can be inputted and computed. The Printable tab has the solutions in a printable format if needed. The Incomplete and Printable tabs from the spreadsheet are also included as separate PDFs for anyone unable to use the Numbers app. ¹ This is a Numbers spreadsheet. It is possible to convert Numbers spreadsheets to Excel files but I cannot guarantee an easy to use output since the tables may be converted to separate worksheets in the Excel file.

A spreadsheet that can be used to analyse the data obtained in the experiment to investigate light intensity and distance like in this video. The spreadsheet automatically calculates the power of the light source and percentage difference with the manufacturer’s rating from inputted distance and light intensity data. The data plots are added to a carefully formatted graph. A line of best fit is automatically plotted. The gradient of the line is automatically calculated from the data plots and the value of the source power is calculated by using the gradient. This spreadsheet is perfect for rapidly analysing experimental data. A second table calculates proportionality constants so that the user can very quickly check if their data obeys an inverse square law. This is a Numbers spreadsheet. It is possible to convert Numbers spreadsheets to Excel files but I cannot guarantee an easy to use output since the tables may be converted to separate worksheets in the Excel file.

This spreadsheet can be used to analyse the data collected in the CIE Practical Skills 1 (2016) task. I have a video of the data collection for this task and its analysis. This spreadsheet has been created in Numbers (Apple’s spreadsheet software), it works on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices.

A simple presentation to aid explanation of the role of radiation intensity in the photoelectric effect once the threshold frequency of the metal has been exceeded. Students often misunderstand the inability of increased intensity to trigger the photoelectric effect and therefore believe it has no role. This presentation is a visual aid to help the teacher show that it has a role in controlling the number of photons arriving per unit time. This presentation compares a source of low intensity blue with high intensity blue light (where blue light has a frequency above the threshold frequency). This is a Keynote presentation (macOS, iPadOS and iOS). Useful for all A-Level physics specifications. The photoelectric effect is an important experiment in physics that proves that light behaves like a particle, it was a founding experiment for quantum theory. Einstein won his Nobel prize for his work on explaining the photoelectric effect.

This spreadsheet will solve your problems involving the equations of uniform acceleration. If you’re a physics teacher you’ll need to solve a lot of these problems at certain times of the year, you may even need to invent your own questions. This may speed up your workflows. Simply input your data (s u v a and t) typing a question mark by the unknown quantity. Then select the equation you need to use from a drop down menu and the answer is calculated. Calculations are performed on a background table, so at any time you can investigate what’s happening on that tab. Questions that lead to two values of t (due to the square root in some solutions) are solved and both values of t are shown.
