On this part of the website I will be pointing the way to good websites for you to check out. They ought to cover everything that will be of interest to do with Scottish Physics teaching and learning. Beware, I might slip a few Scottish Canal websites in, just for interest. Just note that the picture of Patricia in the header is the very same Mostly Harmless before her transformation. Hopefully next season we can take another photo in her new livery.

Here is a great introduction video to Physics

Mr Hood has done it again and collected data on loads of useful  sites. He’s always ahead of the game. New sites seem to be appearing monthly, so keep checking them out.

Here is a great site for National Courses, and includes easy access to all SQA Physics past papers. It is a well laid out site, with a great range of videos and notes.

The IoP have unfortunately taken away this brilliant resource but they’ve left up the instructions. Perform you own colonoscopy, perform a series of PET scans, investigate brain activity with a series of MRI scans and use radiotherapy to destroy cancer tumours.

Scottish Universities Physics Alliance. Quite an advanced site, but with plenty of news.

Mr Mackenzie lives in Thurso, plenty of time to write an excellent website!

Here’s a new site, this is great. I wish I could do as well!

Mr Smith’s YouTube channel started in April 2016 with LIVE Physics help sessions for National 5 Physics

This is a great YouTube channel for higher physics.
