My Physics department at school has a collection of old VHS cassettes, some dating back to the 1980s. I don’t want them to be lost forever, so I’ve started the process of digitising them. I found an old VCR in a cupboard in the geography/geology department, got a SCART to HDMI adapter and a videoContinueContinue reading “Old Educational VHS Cassettes”

Is there a mistake on this GCSE Astronomy mark scheme?
In yesterday’s tuition sessions I encountered an issue, where I could not justify what the mark scheme said about a question. After some more thought, I believe there are mistakes on the mark scheme for this question. Watch the video below to see my thoughts. https://youtu.be/K0prwBceKl8 Am I wrong? Please do let me know ifContinueContinue reading “Is there a mistake on this GCSE Astronomy mark scheme?”
End of the academic year, at last!
Congratulations for getting to the end of the academic year!
A Level Physics Paper 2 and Paper 3A Sessions
A-Level Physics Support Sessions for Paper 2 and Paper 3A are going ahead! Also, another calculator gets added to my collection. See the blog post for more!
A-Level Physics Lessons
A-Level physics lessons, changes to this week’s GCSE astronomy tuition session time, and TikTik “success”
Physics Glossary
It was suggested to me (but I cannot remember by whom) that it would be good if I produced an alphabetical list of the physics key words I have been redefining in my series of vertical short-form videos, “Are you ready to relearn English?” I thought it was an excellent idea, so here it is!
Should you study A-Level Physics?
A Level Physics students get lower grades than other subjects, which some interpret to mean that Physics is a more challenging course; however, a lower grade in Physics is worth more than a lower grade in other subjects. In this video I show statistics from the Institute of Physics that highlight how valuable A-Level Physics really is.
“Viral” Physics Question: Solved
I saw this question being asked on social media and decided to do a quick video demonstrating the solution, because it is a good context to help people understand the difference between Newton’s First Law and Newton’s Third Law. https://youtu.be/CbJf-wkyKXM Let me know if there are any other “viral” physics questions you want help with!ContinueContinue reading ““Viral” Physics Question: Solved”
Using Reverse Polish Notation
I’ve just recorded a video where I demonstrate the advantages of using Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) input logic when calculating quantities for electrical components: it’s quicker, there are fewer key presses and there is less chance of making a mistake. See blog post
