Schoolphysics.co.uk is the site for both
pupils and teachers of Physics whether studied as single subject or as part of a
combined Science course.
At Christmas time 2009 the site and material underwent a major revision to give the form that you see today. Part of the site (Physics at a Glance) is free to all users and the 'Premium content' (Physics in Depth) may be viewed after subscription.
The material is divided into three levels:
Age 11-14:
suitable for 11-14 year old pupils and their teachers
Age 14-16:
suitable for 14-16 year old pupils and their teachers
Age 16-19:
suitable for 16-19 year old pupils and their teachers
Within the three levels there are:
Over 1750 Pages of text and 3000 problems
Bridging
the levels is Physics and Astronomy dictionary, a History of Physics and Astronomy, a
collection of over 2000 diagrams, photographic images and GCSE/ AS and A2
Specification references
There are now three CDs available with the site:
1. A CD that contains all the Premium content
2. A Teachers CD containing Lesson plans, Creative Teaching Ideas, Answers, OHT sheets and Toys in Physics
3. 'Hand Held Physics' - a CD of material suitable for direct download to hand-held electronic devices such as an iPod.
If you
find the material useful I am pleased. If you would like any more, or if what you need is
not included please email me. I will do my best to include it as soon as possible. The site
will be continually updated as suggestions come in. Please feel free to download any
material, put it in your work and use individual sections of text and pictures.
I am
very grateful to my wife for her understanding during many hours that I have spent at the
computer. I would also like to thank Leila Hodgkins for designing the site and Grant for writing the coding. My cousin John has also been a great help in the conversion of the site to a version that can be used on a CD. I am also grateful for the knowledge and help of my colleagues at a
number of schools.
However also I owe an enormous debt of thanks to my
many Physics students over the years.
Finally, any mistakes are my
responsibility alone. Hopefully there are few but I apologise in advance for those that you
will inevitably find.
Good luck and best wishes.
