Please take a look around our website. The site has a comprehensive database of experiments and discussion forums, but for those you'll need to register. If this is your first visit to the site you can see more of what's on offer by viewing this sample experiment.

As a member of S3Physics you will get:

• Visits by excellent, qualified physics teachers, who are STEM Ambassadors and have received specialist training from the Institute of Physics. One member of each team is usually a recently retired Physics teacher, the other a serving member of the Physics department of a partner school. They provide hands-on training and support for non-specialist and newly-qualified teachers with the aim of improving pupil participation in experiments.
• On-site training customized to the school’s teachers and technicians.
• Notes to extend the knowledge and understanding of teachers up to A level Physics.
• Access to the S3Physics website with a library of clear, detailed on-line resources, offering:
  • Experiment worksheets (complete with illustrations) for pupils, with additional information and sample results for teachers and technicians.
  • Notes for teachers on applications of Physics and key points.
  • PowerPoint presentations related to each experiment for use in class.
  • Bulletin board for the exchange of ideas and the posting of questions.
