Teaching Advanced Physics: Mechanics
From the Institute of Physics, these resources are split into topics and each topic is subdivided into a number of learning episodes. Each learning episode represents a coherent section of teaching. Typically the activities include discussion, demonstrations, student investigations and calculations and can be completed in one or two lessons. The topics covered are: * Statics * Kinematics * Drag forces * Newton’s laws * Work, energy and power * Momentum * Circular motion * Materials

Episode 212: Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Produced by the Institute of Physics, in this learning episode students discuss Newton's third law and use examples to clarify their understanding of its application.
The activities in this learning episode include:
* discussing Newton's third law
* understanding force pairs
* examining...
Episode 213: Preparation for Work, Energy and Power Topic
From the Institute of Physics, this series of learning episodes explore work, energy and power. Students perform some useful experiments with trolleys, weights and pulleys. Students should have a simple understanding of energy, how it is transferred by a force and the idea of conservation of energy. In these...
Episode 214: Work Done by a Force
In this learning episode from the Institute of Physics, students tackle practical work looking at the efficiency of a ramp to think of force as a mechanism by which energy is transferred from one body to another. The activities include: • discussing students' current understanding of force, gravity, energy and work...
Episode 215: Forces on Vehicles
In this learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, students look at the forces involved when one vehicle impacts another object. This can be used to illustrate the forces, acceleration and deceleration involved. It considers the effect of the distance over which a force acts rather than the time of action of...
