SimEnergy 1
In this SimPhysics game, the challenge for players is to help a family stay warm through the worst winter on record. SimEnergy 1 simulates the factors involved in insulating a building and makes it more fun to learn the physics by taking an enquiry approach. Each round poses a different challenge for students to...
SimEnergy 2
Like ‘The Sims’, in this SimPhysics game students look after a family and keep their home supplied with electricity. In the game scenario the government has set a carbon dioxide quota for each household, so limiting their contribution to climate change. The player has to invest in renewable sources of electricity...
These interactive games from the Institute of Physics support the teaching of energy and space to students aged 13 to 16. The games are designed to help students to engage with the physics they need to use to solve problems and win the games. Each game is accompanied with teacher guidance notes.
The four...
SimSound
In this SimPhysics game, players get the opportunity to manipulate sound, style a rock band and work on their recordings.
Players are presented with some wrinkles in the recorded sound that they have to iron out. On...
SimSpace
SimSpace is a SimPhysics game-based learning resource where players take on the role of space scientists, scouting the skies for Near Earth Objects (NEOs) that may pose a risk to life on Earth.
The premise is that...
This journal is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

Solar Eclipses
From the Institute of Physics (IOP), Teachers TV and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), this short video clip shows a simple method for helping students to understand the relative positions of the earth, sun and moon during a solar eclipse.
...Sound 11-14
From the Institute of Physics, this resource provides extensive teacher guidance and suggested classroom activities to support the teaching of: * Describing sound * Quantifying and using sound Each topic is explored from the following perspectives: • The physics narrative explains the physics of the topic using...
'Our modern society has more ways of making sounds than ever before. How can we control sound to get good quality when we want it and cut out the sounds we don't want to hear?'
These practicals and videos use a workplace context to develop students' understanding of the properties of sound, and how science...
