Physics - Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)
From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by MEI, this series of activities explores how mechanical oscillations are important in many areas of everyday life. Sometimes they are useful, for example the motion of the suspension on a car, sometimes they are fun, for example a fairground 'pirate ship' and sometimes…
Particles in Motion
Particles in Motion is a multimedia package developed jointly by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP) and the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). Originally published as a CD-ROM, it contains video clips and animations to support the teaching of basic ideas of chemistry in the 11-14 science curriculum. Topics covered include…

Key Stage Three: Anthrax Lessons
In this resource from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)'s Seeing Science website, students use data and evidence to identify a mystery disease, watch a cartoon on the history of vaccination which will allow them to answer questions on Jenner's work and role play the outbreak of a 'new' disease.…
Episode 539: Deep Inelastic Scattering
In this learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, students use an analogue experiment to illustrate electron scattering by quarks. In the model, magnets are concealed in a box. Their poles represent ‘charges’ which are probed using a freely-suspended magnet. This helps to demonstrate that each of the scattered…
