The Stimulating Physics Network
http://www.stimulatingphysics.org/
The Stimulating Physics Network
The (UK) Institute of Physics and the Science Learning Centres have formed a partnership to run a support network for teachers and pupils of physics in England. This is known as the Stimulating Physics Network. The objectives of the Stimulating Physics Network are to improve the quality of pupils’ experience of physics and to reinvigorate a culture of physics in the whole school.
The 70 strong network consists of 35 Physics Network Coordinators and 35 Teaching and Learning Coaches – all knowledgeable, experienced and enthusiastic specialists who are supported by the IOP’s Education Department.
TalkPhysics.org is our online learning community.

Optics for Kids
LightTools: Illumination Design in 3D From concept to completion, LightTools enables you to iterate and perfect your illumination designs quickly and accurately.
Elementary school children might enjoy this quick look at some optical basics, especially if coupled with some experiments from the Optics Discovery Kit from OSA or some creative play with the commercial program ZAP!. There's also a bit of a pep talk on science and engineering as careers.

KS3 Science: Physics Modules

KS3 Science: Physics Modules Teacher's Guide 2004/5 (All Modules)
This scheme of work is being entirely updated. It uses the QCA notation for the Units and most of the topic headings. The learning objectives are linked very closely to those used in QCA, and are related to the National Curriculum objectives. The resources used are based mainly on the new Exploring Science resources, and the notation used for the resources is that used on the CD RoM, for all the worksheets.
If you are lucky enough to use an interactive whiteboard, then these 'lessons' can be brought alive, without the need to kill another 'Amazon Forest ' with endless paper worksheets. Share the links and websites with the class....these are not meant to be just for teachers! The website, and the links, are extremely useful for homework/project activities.

PhysicsQuests (High School Physics)

PhysicsQuests
A WebQuest, according to Bernie Dodge, the originator of the WebQuest concept from San Diego State University, "is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than on looking for it, and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation." The PhysicsQuests adapt the main guidelines of a WebQuest.
They can be used as extension activities to tie a particular Physics topic to a common experience such as electricity, roller coasters or to reinforce concepts learned in the classroom. Students work individually.

A is for Atom - 1953 film
Animated classic presenting what an atom is, how energy is released from certain kinds of atoms, the peacetime uses of atomic energy and the byproducts of nuclear fission.
A is for Atom is primarily a pop-science film, intended to combat fear of atomic energy by explaining how it works scientifically. The result is an impersonal atom, less Oppenheimer's "destroyer of worlds," than a useful friend. The chain-reaction of atomic fission looks no more frightening than a game of neutron pool, and deadly radiation is similar to an ordinary X-ray, and kept safely behind concrete walls.
Presents in lay terms what an atom is, how energy is released from certain kinds of atoms, the peace-time uses of atomic energy and the by-products of nuclear fission.
