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.

Sonometer
This is a variation on the standing waves investigation and follows a similar set up. You investigate the connection between the tension, length and frequency of a stretched wire.
Specific heat capacity of water
The aim of this investigation is to measure the specific heat capacity of water, building on GCSE work. The focus can be on sources of error and you can also look at finding the SHC of other liquids, or seeing if altering the mass affects the results.
Spectrum of a gas
The aim of this investigation is to measure the wavelengths in a spectrum of gas e.g. sodium or cadmium. It is expected that the students will calculate the wavelengths of a number of lines in the first order spectrum.
Speed of sound: resonance tube
A different investigation to calculate the speed of sound in air using an air column in a tube. Very easy to set up and take measurements, which is ideal for a class practical.
