Institute of Physics: Supporting Physics Teaching
The Supporting Physics Teaching initiative from the Institute of Physics is intended to support specialist and non-specialist teachers who teach 11-16 physics.
Each topic contains a physics narrative, teaching and learning issues and teaching approaches:
• The physics narrative explains the physics of the topic using text, diagrams and video clips and could be used to enhance your subject knowledge or as a resource in the classroom.
• The teaching and learning issues explore some of the pupil misconceptions and challenges when teaching the topic.
• The teaching approaches describe suggested activities for the classroom.
The topics covered in this series are:
* Earth in space
* Electric circuits
* Electricity and energy
* Electricity and magnetism
* Energy
* Force and motion
* Forces
* Light
* Machines
* Magnetism
* Motion
* Radiations and radiating
* Sound
