You’ve read the book, seen the video, got the t-shirt, now have a look at a short video clip on Marie Curie, discoverer of radioactivity and have a listen to the podcast.

sang Elvis probably….

Have a look at this map and click for some fascinating video clips with Ian Stewart ( the guy from earth : power of the planet)

We talked about how Galileo dropped a cannon ball and a wooden ball from the leaning tower of Pisa to show that all objects experience the same force on Earth due to gravity. Both objects land at the same time, but if you were to drop a ball and a feather then the feather would experience more air resistance than the ball and take longer to fall. If you go somewhere there is no air – a vacuum or on the moon then both objects fall at the same speed. These is proved in the video. Check it out.

ps. this has been a sats question in the past

You can download a more recent sats paper here  as a word document -apologies that it’s still level 3-6. I have a software problem that I need to get sorted out

To get a distinction in your latest Btec assignment, one thing you need to do is explain the effects of the 3 types of radioactivity. Watch this video clip very closely, as it has all the information you need.

I have been asked by some year 9 parents where to get hold of past sats papers. I don’t have any recent ones but you can download a couple of older papers here.

Please note that these are level 3-6. I will try and upload some more question papers , including the higher tier soon.
