In this episode, you will introduce the importance of circular motion and explain the need for a centripetal force to keep an...

Practical Activity 16-19

This episode introduces (or revises) basic kinematics. The equations of motion are met in separate science (triple award) pre...

Practical Activity 16-19

Power is the rate at which work is done, i.e. the rate at which energy is transferred by a force. It is likely that your...

Practical Activity 16-19

This demonstration shows that a beam of light is diffracted as it passes around a wire, highlighting the wave nature of light.

Practical Activity 16-19

In this activity students build a model universe using washers and elastic bands. You can use it to introduce Hubble’s law.

Practical Activity 14-16 16-19

In this demonstration students see a simple rocket in action. You can use it to illustrate Newton’s third law of motion.

Practical Activity 14-16 16-19

Show that only certain colours of light produce a voltage when shone onto an LED. An example of light behaving as a particle.

Practical Activity 16-19

In this activity students see that a ruler supported by two fingers remains balanced when they slide their fingers towards its...

Practical Activity 16-19

In this activity students use the phyphox app to determine the gravitational field strength using a pendulum.

Practical Activity 16-19

In this activity students use the phyphox app to determine the spring constant, k, using a mass-spring system.

Practical Activity 16-19

A simple demonstration to introduce the idea of a pendulum using everyday objects.

Practical Activity 14-16 16-19

Students listen to how the loudness of a tuning fork varies as they rotate it. An introduction to destructive interference.
