The Science of Seeing Colours Assembly/ Starter
This is my favourite optical illusion and it's not well known. Could be used as an interactive starter in Physics, Biology or Art. I have used this several times for Science Week assemblies - a hall full of students audibly stunned at how their own eyes work. Strongly recommended.
Warm The Brain: Fun Logical Problem Solving Starters
Six splendid puzzles to display on your interactive whiteboard. These make great lesson starters and are an essential part of a teacher's toolkit. You probably already know the River Crossing puzzle. The puzzles are animated to make them very attention grabbing. No printing is needed; all the puzzles should be solvable without the need to write anything down. Very engaging and fun.

Circular Motion A-level Physics: Presentation, Worksheets and Game
A really strong collection of resources for teaching circular motion at A-level. I think even teachers who have been presenting this topic for decades will find some exciting ideas here.
The main presentation is animated with full notes and also contains links to film clips, an iPad app. It contains a careful derivation of the loop the loop treatment.
There are two documents with exam-style questions both written and multiple choice. These contain fully worked answers.
The "quickfire game" is an engaging recap race using questions on slips of paper.
