Physics Activities to try out as they are or adapt for your own classrooms. |
You will find free downloadable activities here which we hope you will be able to fit into your schemes of work. We also hope you will find ways of developing similar activities on other topics. We would be very pleased if you could send any new activities for us to post online or a link to your website if you prefer to post the activity online yourself. We are beginning to include new activities developed with colleagues in Medway which are being piloted and we'd welcome your comments/suggestions. Links to Chemistry, Biology and General Science.
