This video explains how to measure the speed of water waves using an alternative to the ripple tank wave experiment; water in a Gratnell tray. In order to calculate the speed of a wave, we need to measure the distance covered by a wave in the time it takes to cover that distance.

A pair of videos that explains how to demonstrate the Newton’s Second Law required practical. The first demonstrates an experiment we can do in order to investigate the relationship between the acceleration of an object (with a constant mass) and the applied force.  The second explains how to interpret the data,...

A pair of videos that explains how to demonstrate the Newton’s Second Law required practical. The first demonstrates an experiment we can do in order to investigate the relationship between the acceleration of an object (with a constant force) and its mass.  The second explains how to interpret the data, plot the...

This series of seven videos gradually build on the concepts that lead to an understanding of air pressure and contain clips of some interesting demonstrations to show its effects which could be replicated in a classroom.The demonstrations...

A pair of videos that investigates the Boyle’s law relationship. The first demonstrates how to undertake the experiment using a pressure sensor and syringe.  The second explains how to interpret the data, plot the graph and determine if there is a relationship between the volume of a gas and the pressure.

Produced for Future Morph, these resources contain a video in which a student talks about her apprenticeship course in electrical installation at Exeter college. She describes the entry qualifications needed for her course, contrasts her experiences at college compared to school and briefly mentions health and...

This video introduces and explains the centre of mass, sometimes called the centre of gravity, and how to determine it for a 2D shape. 

A pair of videos that investigates the Ohm’s law relationship. The first allows students to carry out an experiment on the IV characteristics of a wire (Ohm's law) from home. This is a required practical for students to understand and be able to carry out for GCSE Combined Science and Physics.  The second explains...

A short video that demonstrates how to investigate the charge of different insulators due to friction.  

This video is the full experiment in real time to investigate the rate of conduction in various metals.

This video demonstrates a convection experiment for GCSE Physics using potassium permanganate in water with a Bunsen burner.

In this activity developed by the Institute of Physics, students model the motion of a planet around a star and investigate how day and night and seasons may be different on other planets. Working in pairs or small groups, students demonstrate night and day and seasons to each other. They can then go on to model...

A pair of videos that investigates the density of different materials.  The first allows students to see an experiment on the density of regular and irregular objects from home. The second part outlines the calculations used to work out the densities of cylinders of different materials. This is a required practical...
