Physics – Home Learning

Welcome to the SSERC Physics Home Learning page.

Here at SSERC we are doing our best to support home learning. In addition to the large amount of resources already on our website (https://www.sserc.org.uk/subject-areas/physics) we have added some others that might help more specifically support teachers learning at home.

Self-Study courses for teachers:

We have been working to develop courses that you can use to update your skills.

To complement our optical radiation and electrical safety courses, we have added another physics safety course that covers many of the areas not included in the two exisiting courses.
Electrical safety self-study course.
Optical radiation self-study course.
Mobile Devices self-study course.

Our courses are for SSERC members. If you work in a Scottish state school you are a SSERC member. Those in most independent schools and many FE colleges are too. (You may find that activities described in the course are adaptable for student use at home).

Our Mobile devices course has been adapted from our Blended learning course and features activities such as:

Take a video of a moving object, analyse it and generate motion graphs
Demonstrate sound engineering and noise cancellation
Access your device’s internal sensors, make and record measurements
Investigate the Doppler effect and even the uncertainty principle
Create animations

All physics courses that are currently open for delegate applications and further details can be found on our physics professional learning page.
