National 5 Physics resources
National 5 Physics videos
Here is a list of my National 5 Physics videos, sorted into topics. You'll also find useful resources below which will help you in your studies. First off, here are the 4 main video types I produce...
★ Past Paper solutions videos. Try to answer the question shown in the video yourself- don't just watch it!
|
★ Practical demonstration videos of some common experiments (and the theory behind them).
|
★ Topic lesson videos cover a single topic area and often includes worked examples at the end which you can use to test your knowledge.
|
★ Online simulations - these videos demonstrate Physics concepts using the PhET online simulations you can try yourself.

2. 'Live lesson' question sheets
These files contain the questions covered in each of the live lessons. These were streamed every Tuesday from 19th April to 17th May 2016 with a 'Final thoughts' lesson on 23rd May (the day before the exam). The 'revisited' videos cover any questions which I didn't have time to complete during the live session.
