These resources contain detailed ideas and resources for teaching physics to students aged 16-19, and aim to support those new to teaching this age group. They assume only limited access to equipment, resources, and advice from experienced colleagues. They are not intended to constrain the development of other...

From the Institute of Physics, these resources are split into topics and each topic is subdivided into a number of learning episodes. Each episode represents a coherent section of teaching, that takes typically one or two lessons to complete.

The topics covered are:

* Quantum physics
* Lasers...

These short video clips, from the Teaching Astronomy and Space DVD produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP) and Teachers TV, show simple, accessible and effective demonstrations that can be carried out with students. The demonstrations do not require specialised equipment and help students to understand topics...

This video investigates the temperature–time relationship for melting ice. A graph to show the change of state is plotted. 

This collection has been produced in celebration of ten years of continuing professional development run through the National Science Learning Centre. These practical experiments and demonstrations have been selected by the National Science Learning Centre, and their key partners, as the ten experiments that...

The terminal velocities of cupcake cases are calculated in this video and a graph of mass versus terminal velocity is plotted to investigate the relationship. 

Several different treatments are used to autolyse yeast cells. The viability of the autolysed yeast is then tested by: plating out on agar; testing for dehydrogenase activity; microscopic examination with methylene blue.

In this activity, students investigate the three main types of memory - sensory, short-term and long-term. An explanation is given for each one and linked to a memory experiment. Students are also given five memory tasks to complete which include looking at factors that affect peoples' memories and ways in which to...

This book provides a range of easy-to-do magic tricks based on Chemistry, Physics, Engineering and Mathematics.

The video features Richard Garriott on Science and Magic and shows how the properties of ferofluid can exploited to create a magic trick.
