Here you can point others towards web based video clips that you have used for teaching.Folk will find it more helpful if you can find the time to say how and why you used them.Tag the entry to help people find it again.
A place to collect songs with reference or relevance to physics. I suggest a new topic for each new song. Some can be embedded (from YouTube). Others might just be links. It’d also be good to hear how people use […]
It is always best to start where children are and build on interest rather than starting by trying arouse interest. TOYS old and new give us this way into the minds and motivations of everyone! This group will aim […]
This group is for all early career teachers of physics, whether you are a specialist physics teacher or a non-specialist who expects to teach some physics. It will help you to keep abreast of events and resources […]

A group to share ideas about using the Virtual Physical Laboratory software from John Nunn at NPL and provided free of charge by license through the Teachers Network of the IOP.
As the number of apps increases and the devices that run them become more common it seems sensible to see where the use of apps can enhance the teaching of physics. Many teachers are now asking PNCs for […]
A newsletter published by the IOP’s Education Department, with information about events, resources and training, as well as teaching tips and practical ideas focused on the 11-16 age group. The paper copy goes […]
This group is a place to discuss the possible changes to the way that we represent energy to students.
Interesting physics based cartoons. For starters, discussion, wall posters, or possibly just amusement
Teaching physics with an historical slant. For instance, the Unit 8 – Turning Points in Physics for AQA A A-Level is a good excuse to teach from original sources. Perhaps here we could post links or files of […]
A discussion forum for users of isaacphysics.org. Use this forum to share gameboards with other teachers, discuss isaac physics questions and any difficulties you or students may be having, and share experiences […]
