New Physics for You
Teacher Support- ‘Just Click’ CD Rom
This CD contained over 1000 resources to help your teaching. Over 1000 ! More details below.
PowerPoints, Spreadsheets, Images, Animations, Interactives galore!
It is no longer ‘in print’ but if you can find a copy you will find it very useful.
And it came with a printed Pack of over 400 photocopiable sheets for you to use with your students.
The Pack is no longer in print, but many of these printed resources are now available from www.physicsforyou.co.uk.
Make your life easier!
You could select and use the resources in any of 4 ways (see below), depending on which is the most useful to you.
| 1. | AQA order The ICT resources (see below) appeared for whichever AQA Topic you choose. Every AQA Topic, for Core Science, for Additional Science and for full GCSE Physics was listed at just a click of your mouse, with a wide range of relevant ICT resources displayed and ready for you to use at a click. |
| 2. | Edexcel order If you chose this option on the CD then resources were listed for each Edexcel Topic, ready for you to use when teaching that Topic. |

Each Exam Topic (for AQA, for Edexcel, for OCR), as well as each Book Chapter, had its own customized PowerPoint of Learning Objectives and its own Plenary. Depending on which option you choose on the CD (see above) just the PowerPoints relevant to your selected Exam Topic were displayed. |
