A2 Level Physics

Produced by Nelson Thornes, these materials help students to reinforce their understanding of key A2 level physics topics. Designed for the AQA specifications, they can also be applied to other courses. Materials contain teacher notes and student activity sheets. They cover topics that include: * Capacitor discharge * Mass of astronomical objects * Kinetic theory * Latent heat and specific heat capacity * Hybrid vehicle kinetic energy recovery braking system

An Old Principle Saves Energy *suitable for home teaching*

From Nelson Thornes, this resource helps students studying physics at post-16, A2 level. In this activity students read a short passage, on the workings of a condensing boiler, then answer questions on latent heat and specific heat capacity. The calculations should improve their comprehension and estimation skills...

Finding the Masses: Earth, Sun and Black Holes

From Nelson Thornes, this resource helps students studying physics at post-16, A2 level. They help students to learn how the mass of cosmological objects are measured. Examples include the Earth, the Sun and finally the super-massive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. Some of these measurements were made...

Investigating an Electronic Flash

From Nelson Thornes, this resource helps students studying physics at post-16, A2 level. They help students to review their knowledge and understanding of the discharge of a capacitor to an electronic flash. Students calculate time constants and use them to find capacitance and resistance, as well as drawing a...

Kinetic Theory: the Tennis Ball and Electric Current

From Nelson Thornes, this resource helps students studying physics at post-16, A2 level. In this activity students practise using the kinetic theory of gas equations and the gas laws. Students are challenged to show what is happening as gas molecules collide with the walls of a tennis ball and extend the kinetic...
