More about Simon

Please follow the links above to access free creative commons physics teaching resources and ideas or click here to find out more about me.  I have tried to credit the original source of the ideas although this is not always easy to find out.   I hope that this will be useful for non-specialists or trainees teaching the topics for the first time as well as for established physics teachers who are on the hunt for new ideas, links to good simulations and  other resources. I have highlighted hazards that are clear to me in red but teachers should complete their own risk assessment before using anything with students.
