Institute of Physics



¡®Supporting Physics Teaching¡¯ offers classroom resources such as lesson plans,

suggestions for routes through teaching and detailed practical descriptions

including technicians¡¯ list, instructions, theory and analysis. The IOP also offer

an online support community, events, grants and resources to support physics

activity outside of lessons, CPD for teachers and Careers resources for

students.

STEM Learning



Resources, CPD and articles aimed at the STEM teaching and learning

community. Useful material for teachers and particularly useful for encouraging

more able learners who may be interested in extra-curricular projects, CREST

awards or Science clubs.

PhET



Description

Interactive simulations useful for teachers to project, or students to review when

embedding knowledge. Syllabus coverage includes: Motion; Sound & Waves;

Work, Energy & Power; Heat & Thermodynamics; Light & Radiation; Electricity,

Magnets and Circuits. Provided by the University of Colorado who continue to

regularly add new content.

Khan academy



Short AV talks with multiple uses. Detailed expositions make effective CPD for

teachers who may be delivering material they are less familiar with. The use of

text and pictures with voice-over is ideal for students to work on at home or in

class to deepen understanding. While Khan Academy lectures often go much

further than needed on the IGCSE course, there are many basic talks aimed

directly at students at this level, often from a slightly different angle (for example,

finding the take-off velocity of an A-380 Airbus).

S-cool



Targeted directly at learners wanting more Physics to review and revise in their

own time. S-cool is a free revision website offering online notes supplemented

with animations for revision; question banks; and a large student community

asking and answering each other¡¯s questions. The site is set up for GCSE

students, but there is a large amount of cross-over, making it appropriate for

most of the IGCSE course. Covers Energy Calculations and Transfers; Forces,

Moments and Pressure; Properties and Uses of Waves; Magnetism and

Electromagnetism; Radioactivity.
