Mechanics

I don't teach Mechanics so huge thanks to Ella Dickson (@elladickson) for helping me set this page up, and to Ian Tomkins (@GianTomkins) for helping me organise and update it in August 2018.

In addition to the resources listed below, I recommend Integral (school login required) which provides topic notes, worksheets, activities and assessments. Also, the National STEM Centre eLibrary has a good range of mechanics resources, including the excellent Mechanics in Action investigations. Please send additional resource recommendations to resourceaholic@gmail.com.

    Thank you so much for setting this up! I'll continue to look out for good mechanics resources.

      Thank you for your input - there'd be no mechanics page if it weren't for you! Much appreciated.

    This is a nice momentum starter https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/card-sort-momentum-pairs-6096317

    These are great moments puzzles https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/moments-11101629

    Does anyone have a list of recommended equipment, for a new department to order, for practicals? I would much rather have a maths kit rather than borrow from the science department all the time, but not sure what to get. Thanks so much!

    For each group of the students in the class, I would have:
    3 50g weight carriers
    20 50g weights
    2 Newton meters with a range 0 to 10N
    1 single pulley
    A few expandable springs
    Plenty of string
    Done elastic string
    A set of 'bathroom' scales calibrated in Newtons.
    This equipment gets used with all our single maths groups. We have a bit more for the further mathematicians
