P9 Electromagnetic Spectrum

Science Bank 6 (Electromagnetic Spectrum): part 1 – the visible spectrum (to 4m 40s); part 2 – longer waves (to 9m 15s); part 3 – shorter waves (to 14m 15s):

 

Three short video clips from Clipbank: the Electromagnetic Spectrum, UV & X-rays & the passionate Jon Chase describes Electromagnetic Radiation in 4m 19s.

All the different forms of radiation in the Electromagnetic Spectrum are described here in a 24m 30s video (BBC KS4 Class Clips).

Other videos include How does a microwave work? from Naked Science Scrapbook (4m 35s), Waves & Communication from Jon Chase (4m 19s), Science in Focus – Electromagnetic Spectrum (19m 9s), & in GCSE Bitesize foundation level – Waves  – the second part revises the electromagnetic spectrum.

P15 Radioactivity

Science Bank 14 (Radioactivity): part 1 – detection & origin (to 4m 50s); part 2 – types & properties (to 9m 25s); part 3 – measuring & using half-life (to 14m 30s):

Revision videos: form Curriculum Bites – Radioactivity ( 6m 37s) & from GCSE Bitesize – Radioactivity (10m 22s), covering what is radioactivity?; effects of radiation on matter; uses of radiation.Science in Focus – Radioactivity – a 26m video.

Two short video clips from Clipbank: Gamma Radiation & Radioactive Metal Tracers.

BBC Short Circuit – Radioactivity – a 19m, old video.

DETECTION OF RADIOACTIVITY:

Two short video clips from Clipbank: detecting Background Radiation & Seeing Radioactivity.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE 3 KINDS OF EMISSION:

Two short video clips from Clipbank: Types of Radioactivity & What is Radioactivity.

HALF-LIFE:

Two short video clips from Clipbank: The Decay of an Isotope & Carbon Dating.
