'What will happen as we use up fossil fuels? Are we facing an energy crisis? Where will we get our energy from in the future?'
Understanding the nature of energy, how it moves from one place to another and how it can be changed from one form to another will help us harness energy more effectively in the...
Harnessing Energy: Activity Sheets
Seven activity sheets produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP) to accompany the MODEL Project's Harnessing Energy video.
Worksheet one takes an overview of the topic. Worksheets two - seven are targeted at specific sections of the video.
Answers to all the worksheet questions are provided in the...
Harnessing Energy: Practicals
Eight practicals produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP) that help students to understand energy transfer and transformation and the use of energy in its various forms.
Accompanied by the Teacher and technicians'...
Harnessing Energy: Videos
This video, produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP), shows a physicist working at the Centre for Alternative Energy.
The physicist's job is to help people learn about conserving energy and using energy from the sun, wind and water in place of fossil fuels.
The video is presented as a...
How Big Is the Universe?
It is almost impossible for the human mind to grasp just how big the universe is, but astronomer Pete Edwards gives it his best shot in this Teaching Astronomy and Space video from the Institute of Physics (IOP), Teachers TV and Science and Technology Facilities...
This Institute of Physics Schools and Colleges Lecture 2009 is delivered by astronomer Dr Andrew Newsam.
From the Institute of Physics, this collection of resources gives careers information for students, teachers and careers advisers. There is a set of video clips that follow the work of individual scientists as they show how physics is applied in their work. The video clips illustrate concepts in physics and how...
The Institute of Physics Schools and Colleges Lecture has been delivered by a series of acclaimed physics communicators, throughout the UK, since 1993. Topics are explained using a wide range of visual aids and the one hour lectures are accessible to students aged 14 years old and above. They are designed to tie in...
Investigative and Problem-Solving Approaches to Mathematics and Their Assessment
This resource, first published in 1990, as the Mathematics Teacher's Development Series was written in response to the Cockroft Report to address the recommendation that all mathematics teaching should include opportunities for exposition by the teacher, discussion between teachers and students and between students...
Invisible Wavelengths
This Teaching Astronomy and Space video clip, from the Institute of Physics (IOP), Teachers TV and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), shows a simple demonstration to illustrate wavelengths of radiation that are invisible to the human eye, but which...
