Signal Generator
Produced by the National STEM Learning Centre and the Institute of Physics, this video demonstrates the use of a signal generator to illustrate waves and sound.
The video shows how features such as frequency, amplitude and wave form can be demonstrated using a loudspeaker and an oscilloscope.
SimEnergy 1
In this SimPhysics game, the challenge for players is to help a family stay warm through the worst winter on record. SimEnergy 1 simulates the factors involved in insulating a building and makes it more fun to learn the physics by taking an enquiry approach. Each round poses a different challenge for students to...
SimEnergy 2
Like ‘The Sims’, in this SimPhysics game students look after a family and keep their home supplied with electricity. In the game scenario the government has set a carbon dioxide quota for each household, so limiting their contribution to climate change. The player has to invest in renewable sources of electricity...
These interactive games from the Institute of Physics support the teaching of energy and space to students aged 13 to 16. The games are designed to help students to engage with the physics they need to use to solve problems and win the games. Each game is accompanied with teacher guidance notes.
The four...
SimSound
In this SimPhysics game, players get the opportunity to manipulate sound, style a rock band and work on their recordings.
Players are presented with some wrinkles in the recorded sound that they have to iron out. On...
SimSpace
SimSpace is a SimPhysics game-based learning resource where players take on the role of space scientists, scouting the skies for Near Earth Objects (NEOs) that may pose a risk to life on Earth.
The premise is that...
SLIPP teachers' guide
The Teacher’s Guide to the Supported Learning in Physics Project (SLIPP), published by Heinemann, set out the rationale of the project and explained the context-led approach and the supported learning strategy. The Guide explained how teachers could introduce SLIPP units into their post-16, advanced courses.
