I’ve been asked to post a link to all of the booklets so that people have access to something like the energy booklet as they revise using electricity and electronics. I’ve added these to the standard grade page now. Look for a link called whole unit notes in each section.

For those of you who have yet to download a copy of the SQA Physics booklet, get yours here.

Free physics software

I’ve had an email from Yenka to say that they are now offering many of their products for home use – free of charge! I think Yenka is the new name for Crocodile Clips, the company who made Crocodile Physics and Crocodile Technology. Their software allows you to create your own experiments to learn about

motion – SG transport, Int2 unit1, Higher unit1, AH unit1
electricity – SG using electricity, Int2 unit1, Higher unit2, AH unit2
light and sound – SG health physics, Int2 unit3, Higher unit3, AH unit3
electronics – Int1 applied practical electronics, SG electronics, Int2 unit2, Higher unit2

They also have some chemistry products you might find helpful.

The software is free but you can only use it at home. Why not download it and see if you find it useful.
