For each topic, there is a selection of lesson starter ideas, main teaching ideas and plenary ideas. You can pick out individual ideas that meet the needs of your class. The activities include suggestions for how they can be differentiated or used for assessment.

Differentiation ideas are provided for each topic, with ‘stretch and challenge’ activities, ideas to extend learning opportunities and ‘support’ activities, ideas and modifications for learners who need extra practice or help.

The cross-curricular links feature provides suggestions for linking to other areas of study within the Standard Level and Higher Level IB curriculum. Cross-topic links allow students to make connections between the different syllabus sections of the IB Physics course. They encourage students to approach Physics as a holistic topic and help them develop the skills required for approaching exam questions, which often drawn on several areas of the course.
