This collection of resources look at many different investigations that can be undertaken with A-level students and covers many required practical pieces of work, alongside other activities which offer alternatives to commonly used work. Lots build on the work students will have done lower down in school and cover lots of apparatus and technique skills too.

Flow of electrical charge
The aim of this experiment is to investigate the velocity of charged ions in an electric field. This is of the same order as the drift velocity of electrons in a wire under the influence of the same field. A variety of analysis and conclusions that can be draw are provided.

Frequency of the mains
This simple investigation can be linked to standing waves and builds on work done at GCSE. In it students look at sending a current through a wire, suspended in a magnet which causes it to oscillate. From this they can work out the frequency of the mains supply. They can alter wire length and tension to see if...
Fresnel Bi-prism
In this A-level investigation students can calculate the wavelength of sodium light using a Fresnel Bi-prism. A micrometre eyepiece is required for this but most of the equipment is readily available, and the worksheet provides simple guidance on how to measure this.

Fusing currents in wires
This investigation can be used at GCSE or A-level and is looking at how different factors affect when a piece of wire will break when a current is passed through it. Students can alter the length of wire, the type of wire, the thickness of wire and see how this affects the value of current at which the wire breaks...
