A Keynote¹ and PowerPoint presentation to aid teaching students how to use Vernier Calipers and Micrometers with accompanying printable worksheet. Learning how to use vernier calipers and micrometers is an important part of physics A-Level, and engineering courses. The presentation includes a labelled diagram of a vernier caliper, followed by high quality diagrams of vernier calipers showing different measurements. The diagrams match those on the worksheet so that students can work through

Help your students practice recall of graph shapes and features across most physics subject areas (A-level and equivalent). This activity is differentiated. Included is a PDF that has two versions of blank graph grids for students to draw onto. The first version has no help beyond quantities labelled on the axes. The +1 version has some additional guidance included on the axes / grid (such as intercepts or markers). For more guidance there is a page of all graph shapes that students

A detailed presentation to aid explanation of the role of radiation intensity in the photoelectric effect for various photon frequencies relative to the threshold frequency of the metal. Students often misunderstand the inability of increased intensity to trigger the photoelectric effect and therefore believe it has no role. This presentation is a visual aid to help the teacher show that it has a role in controlling the number of photons arriving per unit time. This presentation compares

This is a free Numbers¹ spreadsheet to help teachers having to set multiple assessments for their students some of which are used to calculate a centre assessed grade. The spreadsheet accomplishes the following tasks: Ensures consistency among multiple assessments each with unique numbers of raw marks and requiring their own unique grade boundaries.Very easy grade boundary adjustment by use of stepper cells.Selects the top three UMS scores from the assessments and calculates an average UMS sco

A simple presentation to aid explanation of the role of radiation intensity in the photoelectric effect once the threshold frequency of the metal has been exceeded. Students often misunderstand the inability of increased intensity to trigger the photoelectric effect and therefore believe it has no role. This presentation is a visual aid to help the teacher show that it has a role in controlling the number of photons arriving per unit time. This presentation compares a source of low inte
