Computer models
and simulations from
PhET.

HTML5 simulations run on tablets and mobiles too :)
There's interactive
Flash
animations.
(PC, Mac & Linux only - no
tablet support)
...and fantastic
Java applets
(PC, Mac & Linux only - no

Welcome to Rogue Physicist. The
site contains
computer simulations, animations,
video clips, worksheets, notes,
scaffolding and support
materials, revision
materials,
and other activities. The content is
tailored to support the teaching and learning of physics
for UK secondary school and sixth form students from 11 to 18 years.
Visit the Key Stage 3 section for resources to support teaching
and learning in the first two to three years of secondary
school. Visit the Key
Stage 4 section to find resources to support the teaching and
learning of
GCSE Physics qualifications.
Visit the Key Stage 5 section for
resources to support the teaching and learning
of
advanced level AS or A2 qualifications.
Almost all the content
here is free to use for
non-commercial educational purposes. A
small number of resources require a licence to use, because they
were purchased as part of an educational package. These
resources can only be accessed with a password.
Most of the software is open source,
so you can modify or add to it if you wish. There are
lots of great simulations from the PhET suite, and applets from
Walter Fendt and others. Many of
the applets have been written in
HTML5, so they run on mobile devices and tablets.
Some applets use Sun Java
software, and Macromedia Flash, so only work on PCs, and not on mobile devices
or tablets. Licensing info can be found
here.
Visit the videos page
for interesting things to watch, and there are loads of embedded
videos in the lesson pages too. The YouTube channel,
twitter feed and facebook page are coming soon.
The site is optimised for display
on an interactive whiteboard at a resolution of 1024x768 pixels,
but is designed to work at higher resolutions too.
The content is updated
regularly, so let me know if a link does not work or if you have
comments, queries or suggestions.
I have created most of the content, but much of
the inspiration and many of the ideas have come from the
brilliant practitioners I have worked with, through my career in
teaching and whilst working as an educational provider in
primary and secondary schools, FE colleges, and science shows.
Have fun browsing
and I hope you find something interesting to read, watch, do, or
to use in your teaching or learning.
