The Physics Classroom Physics Flash Animations We have been increasingly using Flash animations for illustrating Physics content. This page provides access to those animations which may be of general interest. The animations will appear in a separate window. The animations are sorted by category, and the file size of each animation is included in the listing. Also included is the minimum version of the Flash player that is required; the player is available free from The categories are: In addition, I have prepared a small tutorial in using Flash to do Physics animations. LInks to versions of these animations in other languages, other links, and license information appear towards the bottom of this page. The Animations There are 99 animations listed below. Other Languages and Links These animations have been translated into Catalan, Spanish and Basque: En aquest enllaç podeu trobar la versió al català de les animacions Flash de Física.

physicscentral The Big Bang Fair Interactive 3D model of Solar System Planets and Night Sky APlusPhysics - High School Physics and AP Physics Online Gatsby - Support for practical science in schools In April 2012, following a period of research, we began a 2 year programme supporting practical science in schools and colleges, focused on better assessment, improved access to teaching resources, and strengthened roles for technicians and senior leaders. We believe that school and college students in the UK deserve a rich and varied programme of practical activities as part of their science education in order to provide them with the motivation and skills needed to progress to higher education, STEM employment and to become scientifically engaged citizens. In Spring 2011 Gatsby began work to build an accurate picture of the health of practical work in secondary school science in order to understand how best to support it in the future. Since that time we have: Briefings from the research conducted are downloadable from the right hand side of this page.
Nuclear reactor and power plant simulation Introduction This is not a lesson like the others in Radioactivity and Atomic Physics Explained but it fits in well with the lesson on nuclear power. It is a very sophisticated simulation of a pressurised water reactor (PWR), which is the most common type of nuclear power reactor in the US but not in Europe, though the principles are very similar. Using the tour There is a comprehensive tour which goes through the workings of the reactor, starting from a consumer of electrical energy and working backwards to the reactor core itself. You can restart the tour at any time using the button at the top left of the screen. Hint numbers Each part of the simulation has a hint number that you can click to see a description of its function. The skill test Once you're familiar with how to use the reactor you can see whether you can control the reactor so that the power output matches the demand from the city.
