From the Institute of Physics, these resources are split into topics and each topic is subdivided into a number of episodes. An episode represents a coherent section of teaching – perhaps one or two lessons. The topics covered are:

* Simple harmonic motion
* Progressive waves
* Electromagnetic...

The video clips in this collection are a collaboration between Teachers TV, the Institute of Physics and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). Each features a current scientist explaining an aspect of their field of expertise. The topics covered include: * Models of the Solar System * Saturn and the...

These short video clips, from the Teaching Astronomy and Space DVD produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP) and Teachers TV, show simple, accessible and effective demonstrations that can be carried out with students. The demonstrations do not require specialised equipment and help students to understand topics...

Teaching Astronomy and Space was a DVD produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP) and Teachers TV, with funding by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). Its purpose was to support the teaching of astronomy, cosmology and space to students aged 11 to 16....

This School Science Review article attempts to summarise the good, bad and (occasionally) ugly aspects of teaching astronomy in UK schools. It covers the most common problems reported by teachers when asked about covering the astronomy/space topics in school. Particular focus is given to the GCSE Astronomy...

This book was a product of the Science, Ethics and Education project. It contains materials which can be used to develop an awareness of ethical analysis and the distinction between providing and analysing evidence.

The Institute of Physics's Medical Physics Group has produced a set of teaching materials which can be used to teach medical physics at GCSE/Standard level in schools. Much of the material is appropriate to use for A-level medical physics options. The Institute's Teaching Medical Physics resources, that include...

This document accompanies a set of resources designed to help teach quantum physics to post-16 students. There are three groups of experiments that make up the full suite:

• Double-slits and diffraction
• ...

These resources are designed to help teach quantum physics to key stage five students. There are three groups of experiments that make up the full suite, but the overview document provides a guide to using all of the resources and activities. The three experiment sets are:

• Double-slit and diffraction...

John Leggott Sixth Form College has for many years enrolled a significant number of fee paying students from China and Hong Kong, many of whom aspire to attend Russell Group universities on completion of their sixth form studies. The government rules for such students has recently changed and numbers from China are...

A set of tried and tested curriculum resources which aim to improve students' enquiry skills and increase engagement.  

This research, commissioned by the Wellcome trust, was undertaken by an interdisciplinary team led by Ralph Levinson and Dr Sheila Turner at the Institute of Education, University of London between May 1st and December 1st 1999.

The project reports on five main areas:

• The perceived importance...

The Science with Technology Teamwork unit, from the Association for Science Education and the Design and Technology Association, introduces students to skills to solve problems and improve quality. It was developed in collaboration with experts in the Rover Group. This unit was part of the Toolkit produced by the...

Produced by the Department for Children Schools and Families and the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency, this 2010 document lays out the size, nature and procedures around the sample of Key Stage Two science tests that was implemented after testing of all students was discontinued in 2009.
