Resources

This item 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 all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

Each of the students' units in this Advanced Physics for Independent Learning series deals with a number of related topics which are explored through different sets of questions. A series of questions on objectives...

Thermal Store of Energy

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Identify which of two objects or substances has the most energy in its thermal store when the only difference between them is temperature

• Identify which of two objects...

Thermite Reaction

From Teachers TV and part of the Great Lesson Ideas series, this video illustrates how to get students to use their knowledge of the reactivity series. It includes part of an active lesson involving a safe version of the exothermic, thermit reaction.

Thermochromic Pigment

This short film from the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP) is one of a series of clips which were produced to demonstrate the properties and use of a range of smart materials. These thermochromic pigments are made up as a liquid paste compatible with any acrylic media. At normal room temperature the pigment...

Thermocouple

This experiment allows you to investigate the boiling point of brine and the melting point of lead using a potentiometer arrangement. An alternative approach using digital voltmeters is also included at the bottom of the sheet.

Thermoforming and thermosetting polymers

This resource supports students to understand the key properties of thermosetting and thermoforming polymers and provides examples of uses for these polymers. The resource contains a classroom presentation and student worksheet.

Thermoforming polymers: properties and uses

A resource which covers core theory for GCSE Design and Technology: understanding the different classifications of plastics and polymers. Within this lesson students will develop a familiarity of a range of thermoforming polymers, common named polymers, their properties and principal uses. Throughout the lesson...

Thermometry... a Hot Topic

In this Catalyst article, Mike Follows describes the surprising range of thermometers available to scientists today.

Many physical properties of materials depend on temperature. Thermometers are vital for measuring body temperature. The body's biochemical reactions work best at 37°C and the body is in...
