Powerpoint covering the content for the second lesson of the EdExcel P2 Unit 5 Radioactivity course. Content includes description of background radiation, description and animation of nuclear fission and diagram explaining how this leads to a chain reaction. Slides also describe the roles of control rods, moderator and coolant in nuclear reactor cores.

Powerpoint for revising KS3 Electricity topic in year 8 or 9. Covers electrical circuits symbols, series and parallel circuits, UK plugs and electromagnets. Also useful for introduction to Electricity topic in GCSE physics course.

Powerpoint for the KS3 (Year7) biology Cells topic. There are 42 slides covering animal and plant cells, how to use a microscope, specialised cells, cell division of animal cells, pollination and fertilisation of plant cells.

Powerpoint for use as part of the second lesson in the AQA AS Level Physics Waves topic. Covers the definition of phase difference and describes the different ways that progressive waves can interact with a boundary.

Powerpoint for IB Physics Unit 1, containing 17 slides on uncertainty calculations, both numerical calculations and from graphs (error bars, gradient uncertainties).

Powerpoint covering the year 8 physics topic of Light. There are 38 slides covering how light travels, reflection, refraction, dispersion, how we see colour and how coloured filters work.

Powerpoint containing 27 slides focusing on the content for section 10.4.1 (Ultrasound Imaging section) of the Medical Physics option topic. Explains how ultrasound pulses are produced and how acoustic impedance allows them to build up images. Describes the differences between A-scans and B-scans. Images courtesy of IOP.

Powerpoint covering 3 lessons on momentum over 26 slides. Starts with the definition of momentum and several simple calculation questions, then works through examples of conservation of momentum in collisions and explosions and then moves onto changing momentum when an external force is involved.

Powerpoint for the first lesson of the Nuclear Physics topic. Main focus is the details of the Rutherford alpha scattering experiment and how this led to the discovery of the structure of the atom. Quick recap of the terminology of the constituents of the atom and then discussion of how scattering experiments led to an understanding of nuclear density.

Powerpoint suitable for both IB Diploma and AS physics mechanics lesson on Hooke's law. Includes 17 slides covering a simulation of a relevant experiment and related graph, so it is ideal to use to follow up on students performing the experiment themselves. Other slides cover the theory of Hooke's law, material definitions of elastic and plastic behaviour, then several examples of applications of the theory.

Powerpoint for AQA AS Physics, Combinations of Waves topic, covering the theory and applications of lasers. Includes a link to a very useful PHet simulation.

Powerpoint for AQA AS Level Physics Waves topic, covering the theory of refraction, Snell's law with a few worked examples and details of a simple refraction experiment to allow students to investigate refraction.

Powerpoint covering the content for the graphs for capacitors charging and discharging and notes on dielectric heating application (including link to a useful animation).

Powerpoint covering Kinetic Theory assumptions, the Gas Laws and comparisons between ideal and real gases for the Thermal Physics topic of AQA A level physics. Powerpoint includes links to several animations.

Powerpoint covering the content of two lessons for topic 1 of EdExcel P3 physics, including labelled diagram of the human eye and description of the function of each component, descriptions of how concave and convex lenses are used in vision correction. Step-by-step description of the different images that can be produced by convex lenses, clearly showing the relevant rays. Also useful as the starter for the AQA Unit 10 Medical Physics option topic. The first section of that option covers the physics of the eye and vision defect correction using lenses.

Powerpoint for revising KS3 (year 8) physics topic of Heating and Cooling. Content includes the differences between heat and temperature, phase changes, methods of heat transfer, heat loss from houses and methods for reducing them. Also useful as introduction to Energy topic in the new GCSE specification.

Powerpoints covering the content for KS3 topic of Pressure and Moments, including definitions and worked examples of pressure, moments and hydraulics.

Document showing ionsiation and excitation, some basic descriptions and space for additional notes to be added.

Document showing absorption and emission line spectra in simple terms.
