This is an evolving resource so please add links to other resources/blogs/twitter feeds etc at the bottom in Comments
As anyone who reads my blogs knows I am committed to creating scientists rather than people who can pass science exams. There will be no rants here , just useful links and essential websites
Resources from the Institute of Physics
Comprehensive resources and thoroughly checked for quality. Including the at times contentious new way of looking at energy. I hated it at first but have now come round to it making much more sense than the old way of doing things – Want to know more ? Follow the link below and look at the Energy Sections and also the Events . These resources are supported by a team of dedicated Teaching and Learning Coaches (TLCs) to find if your school can benefit and see the program and impressive impact report click here
Supporting Physics Teachers – SPT Resources from aged 5 – 14 These are available to download as pdfs or to view as websites
You will ned to register to download the resources, but its free and gives you access to the Talkphysics forum that is a truly superb community able to answer any questions you may have. Click on the image to go to the site

and a series of events – You can find the calendar by clicking on the image

The IOP tweets educationally on @TakeOnPhysics To see my lists on twitter of great physics tweeters to follow use this link Please contact me with more suggestions and dont be shy of self promotion I tweet as @natkin
Dr Muller aka Veritasium has the most amazing youtube channel as well as conducting some great research into physics teaching his Youtube link is here
SlowMo Guys are awesome! link here
Teaching Advanced Physics – from the IOP some great resources here

Nuffield Physics (Im a product of the Nuffield Physics course and I love it ) Great practicals to do

PhET
This has been going ages but is still a great source of animations lots of these have now been updated to HTML5 so can be viewed on iPads.

Keith Gibbs
One of the people who inspired me as a student . If you ever get the opportunity go and see him present . He is awesome and a lovely man
His website has lots of free resources and I can recommend his book

Challenging questions
Isaacs Physics has a series of great questions that go beyond the standard ones

The British Physics Olympiad is a great for challenging your AS and A2 students and for Oxbridge preparation

Engineering Students – Great stuff here to help them prepare

Scottish Physics Teacher Resources – You have to be a member

Flipped Learning or Revision Videos

Hi Neil
Thanks for this. Looking forward to reading it in detail.
My school is very very slow at picking up the iPad ball. Was wondering if you could point me to a really persuasive article or paper that demonstrates better learning through using iPad resources. I would like to push this with SMT but dont want to have to reinvent the wheel!!
Many thanks, and I look forward to future blog posts from you!
All best,
Leslie Askew
I’ll be doing a follow up blog of Transformational Technology probably next week. I feel there is a compelling case for the implementation of mobile technology that adds to learning
Reblogged this on The Echo Chamber.
This is pretty comprehensive and hugely useful: thanks! The only resource that I regularly use that you haven’t mentioned is https://www.cabrillo.edu/~dbrown/tracker/ which is an amazing (and free!) video analysis tool that will draw displacement-, velocity- and acceleration-time graphs: brilliant for projectile motion and circular motion. I can’t recommend this highly enough!
We (the Stimulating Physics Network, aka @TakeOnPhysics) also have a Pinterest page at http://www.pinterest.com/teachphysics!
