School physics
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.

Lees disc
This investigation is to find the thermal conductivity of a poor conductor in the form of a flat disc. It is linked to specific heat capacity so follows on well from work done at GCSE, and gives students a good opportunity to test their maths skills using a complex equation.

Liquid density using a loaded test tube
For this investigation students will be calculating the density of a liquid (usually water) by using the loaded test tube method. By adding mass to the test tube, you work out how far it has sunk then by substituting results into an equation, work out the density of the liquid. This is a good experiment for...
Measuring instruments
This is a good introductory lesson to get students used to using a variety of measuring devices they might be unfamiliar with and which one you would select for a certain job. The measuring devices are:
- vernier callipers
- micrometer screw gauge
- travelling microscope
- a metre...
Mechanical resonance
In this investigation students use a mass of plasticine on top of a hacksaw blade to see how the mass of the plasticine affects the resonance frequency that the...
