Year 8. An introduction to the basics of light. Content - dispersion of light through a prism, translucent, transparent and opaque. Designed for a 45 minute lesson but can be drawn out. Includes homework suggestion. The video reference in the ppt is for any youtube clip of prisms and dispersion of light.

This powerpoint focuses on fixed resistors and calculating resistance using the band colours as well as the the resistance formulas used in circuits. This was made for a top set year 11 iGCSE class and features on the older Cambridge iGCSE syllabus. It is still relevant for all students studying resistance (fixed and variable) in electrical circuits and systems.

An engaging resource for students to practice their understanding of the two pressure formulas: P=height x density x gravity and P= force/area. Students have to calculate the pressure that each animal/person is subjected to at different depths in sea water. They are given the lethal force required for each organism, using the P=f/a formula they have to work out if they survive or not. Extension activities could include - finding out the maximum depth they have to be at before they would die etc... You could ask the students to find a liquid that has a much lower density in which the organisms could survive greater depths. My students loved it and I hope your students do too. Enjoy!

A 12 minute tutorial video about how a CRT and CRO works for the CIE Cambridge iGCSE physics syllabus. Features exam question at the end. Lots of visual stimuli and basic explanations for a varied audience. The video includes references to abstract humour (such as the Pitbull effect - like electrons he took his life from negative to positive). This video can be shown to your students and then they can summarise the content. You can pause the video and print the exam questions to hand out to students. As the teacher you can pause the video, rewind or fast forward areas that students may not understand fully. I hope you enjoy it!
