These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Describe the process of electrolysis in terms of chemical reactions occurring at the electrodes.
• Identify the cathode (or anode) in a diagram of the electrolysis of a solution of...

This video demonstrates an experiment to investigate how current affects the strength of a magnetic field. The Phyphox app on a mobile phone is used to measure the magnetic field strength. The second part explains how to plot a graph to evaluate the relationship between current and magnetic field strength. 

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at electromagnetic radiation. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in mathematics and physical science from age 11 to 19 years. The problems were created to be authentic glimpses of...

Following a presentation on the electromagnetic spectrum, students are asked to produce a presentation which must include the following:

*How frequency is involved in categorising different waves.

• Identify types of electromagnetic radiation that can be naturally occurring.
• Describe a range of sources of harmful electromagnetic...

This poster shows how the electromagnetic spectrum has been divided into seven ‘types’ according to use, with a look at how the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) uses it in high precision measurement.

This video revises the order of electromagnetic spectrum (GCSE) and introduces the range of magnitudes of wavelengths and corresponding frequencies for each type of electromagnetic radiation.

This video helps students to visualise the electric and magnetic field components of an electromagnetic wave.

The electric and magnetic oscillations (vibrations) are at 90⁰ to each other and also to the direction of energy propagation. 

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Predict when there will be a magnetic field around a wire.   
• Describe factors that change the strength of a magnetic field around a wire.         
• Describe the magnetic...

From the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), this wall chart describes with simple explanations, what an electron is and how JJ Thompson came to discover it. It also looks at how electrons play a part in our everyday lives and in electronics, communications and the electrical energy we use. The chart...

These resources, from Nuffield Foundation, were designed as a supplement to the Nuffield Maths 5-11 project, especially those activities which could be supported and reinforced by using a calculator.

Most of the...
