Oscilloscope

Produced by the National STEM Learning Centre and the Institute of Physics, this video demonstrates how to use an oscilloscope to measure potential differences that vary with time. The clip shows how to set up the oscilloscope and explains how the vertical displacement corresponds to a potential difference. The...

Phony physics

In this activity students try several different experiments and then write true and false explanations. Explaining to others in the club, they must decide on the true answer.

Photoelectric Effect

Produced by the National STEM Learning Centre and the Institute of Physics, this video demonstrates how to use a gold-leaf electroscope, zinc plate and an ultraviolet light source. The zinc plate is placed onto the top of the electroscope and it is given a negative charge.

The electroscope can be discharged...

Physical Health: Activity Sheets

Five activity sheets produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP) to accompany the Model Project's Physical Health video.

Worksheet one takes an overview of the topic. Worksheets two - five are targeted at specific sections of the video.

Answers to all the worksheet questions are provided in the Word...
