Teaching Advanced Physics: Atoms and Nuclei
From the Institute of Physics, these resources are split into topics and each topic is subdivided into a number of learning episodes. Each episode represents a coherent section of teaching, that takes typically one or two lessons to complete.
The topics covered are:
* Quantum physics
* Lasers
* Wave-particle duality
* Radioactivity
* Accelerators and detectors
* Nuclear stability
* Fission
* X-ray and neutron diffraction
* Rutherford's scattering experiment
* The standard model
* Particles, antiparticles and quarks
* Feynman diagrams

Episode 538: Electron Scattering
In this learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, students follow work on Rutherford scattering to look at diffraction graphs and calculate nuclear diameters.
The activities include:
* student experiment using an optical analogue to show diffraction around spherical objects
* diffraction...
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...
Episode 540: Quarks and the Standard Model
From the Institute of Physics, this learning episode encourages students to investigate the quark model, which creates relative order out of the chaos of particle classification.
Quarks have three ‘colour’ charges, and the rule for stability is that combinations must be colourless.
The activities...
Episode 508: Preparation for the Radioactivity Topic
This topic from the Institute of Physics, allow students to explore the topic of radiation. There are a series of learning episodes, each being a self-contained unit of learning that takes typically one or two lessons.
The learning episodes in this topic are:
