Newton Wheel

This activity, from Solar Spark, allows students to investigate light and the eye. A template is provided that students can colour to produce a Newton Wheel. White light is made up of lots of different colours and by spinning the colours on the disc, the eye combines the spinning colours and sees the disc as if it...

Used to demonstrate how white light can be composed from a mix of primary colours. Hand wound model on a robust base.

Newton's First Law of Motion

This activity provides a simple demonstration of forces and motion. There is a basic description of non-contact forces and some questions for students to answer.

Newton's laws

This resource looks at Newton's First and Second Laws and how they relate to the Gravity Jet Suit.

The aim of 16-19 Mathematics has been to produce a course which, while challenging, is accessible and enjoyable to all students. The course develops ability and confidence in mathematics and...

Findings and recommendations of a two day symposium 30th June - 1st July 2008, about the mechanics problem at the transition to university. Newtonian mechanics plays a vital role in prepating students at 16-19 for physics, engineering and applied mathematics at university but each year more students arrive at...

Newtonian Modelling

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring dynamics. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

This resource is an...

Newton’s rings

A detailed investigation to measure the wavelength of sodium light.  This could be tied into red shift and the absorption spectrum.  Some specific equipment like a travelling microscope is required but should be accessible for most.
