Revels, other sweets & particle physics - Stewart Feather/Waverley lesson (28th January 2011)

Stewart used a packet of Revels to get over the point of some particles being fundamental (the pure chocolate revel) and other particles being non-fundamental (e.g. the orange centred revel)

Other activities with sweets included a model containing three small sweets wrapped in aluminium foil. This represented the three quarks in a neutron and proton. The students were given a task where they had to predict the charge on the two different types of quark for a neutron and a proton.

Hello Philip

The P3 EDEXCEL Physics course I attended at the Physics Factory in November was incredibly helpful. The students find the resources useful and they have enabled me to focus on doing good lessons.

I recently had a lesson observation by our Headteacher as part of our internal review process and used some of your ideas and resources - I got my first ever Outstanding! Thank you!
