I'm an A-Level physics teacher. In my opinion independent learning is the key to success so I focus a lot of effort into making resources to help students learn physics independently. A lot of what I make is available for free on YouTube. My website has links to everything. I'm starting to offer my free downloads on https://wonkylogic.co/a-level-physics-hq which does not require a log in to download.

NIST Steam Table Spreadsheet - Thermodynamics

NIST Steam Table Spreadsheet - Thermodynamics

(0)
This spreadsheet looks up steam properties for a specified temperature or pressure. It is based on data from the NIST steam tables. The spreadsheet automatically handles interpolation on the temperature and pressure sorted tables. It also handles double interpolation on the superheated steam tables. In order to use the lookup tables the database first needs to be populated with freely available NIST data - I do not sell that data or claim any copyright on it. The data is included for free in a spreadsheet with the correct layout ¹. Download the data and populate the database tables in this spreadsheet before use. ¹ Filename: Steam table lookup - file 2 - database (free) This is a Numbers (Apple spreadsheet) 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. You can use Numbers spreadsheets on iPhones, iPads, Mac computers and in a web browser.

Suitable for AQA and OCR Physics A AS-Level and A-Level specifications. (7407, 7408, H156, H556) This is part of a series of worksheets for practicing different graph skills. If you prefer, you can purchase this in a bundle of Graph Skills worksheets 1-6 here (at a discount): https://gum.co/KBWAH This worksheet is ideal for home learning since it has solutions to all questions included in the document, it is part of a series that gradually builds up a range of graphing techniques and it includes an extension version of the tasks to challenge more able students.
Young's Modulus analysis spreadsheet

Young's Modulus analysis spreadsheet

(2)
Copy of the spreadsheet I used to analyse the Young’s Modulus experiment in my video on the experiment. Now included: a version 2 of the spreadsheet with improved formatting. But note that in order to achieve the neater formatting it is necessary to use more advanced formulae which will make it harder for spreadsheet novices to understand the calculations (especially around indices). Both versions are included to give the user the option of which one to use. 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. Suitable for most A-Level Physics specifications.

This worksheet is great for home learning since it has solutions to all questions included in the document and it is part of a series that gradually builds up a range of graphing techniques. 14 September 2024: It was brought to my attention that the data provided an invalid intercept value for analysis if imported into a spreadsheet to compute. I realised that two values for s suffered from typos (u=12 had s=35 and u=14 had s=42). These data give a negative intercept preventing correct analysis. The values have been corrected (u=12 had s=34 and u=14 had s=43). This affected the values in the tables, however, the values plotted on the grid were correct.
