Breaking through the language barrier
with colourful Physipics Frames and
‘language of Physics’ Activity Frames
There’s more to Physics than just vocabulary …
… practical investigation of variables and how they’re related …
… step by step thinking …
… such as wider world contexts …
… using models …
BUT … the vocabulary of Physics can be formal.
Most students need a lot of targeted help with the language.
That’s a major obstacle for a lot of my students.
Physipics is not a complete learning resource. It exists to support GCSE students in getting over that language hurdle.
These FREE resource samples are second edition. There are now …
… ADDED Physipics Frames, allowing a big reduction in concept density
… ADDED Activity Frames, for language learning
… ADDED Contextual Frames, stressing the importance of the words in the wider world, through carefully selected video links
There is substantial sample material here but it is just a small proportion of what is possible. Please use the contact button for updates.
Sets of cards are available, printed and laminated professionally.
With one card for each full-colour Physipics Frame plus photocopiable Activity Frames.
Frame size approximately 20.8 x 11.6 cm
A note about non-linear learning:
Students experience a lot of linear learning, whereby they start at the top of the page and passively work their way to the bottom.
Physipics content Frames are a touch less linear. In order to complete the ‘word-puzzle’ style of activity students must actively scan the Frames. More thinking is required, and more retention is the consequence.
