Questions
How are these different from the PowerPoint lessons?
The PowerPoint lessons are full 45-minute lessons with homeworks. The comics are shorter and more visual: great for introducing a topic, mixed-ability classes, cover lessons and revision.
Do they work for Combined Science?
Yes. Every page is badged Combined + Physics or Physics only, so Trilogy classes can skip the Physics-only pages.
What do I need to open them?
Microsoft PowerPoint. They also open in Google Slides and Keynote, but the clickable buttons work best in PowerPoint slideshow mode.
Can I share them with my department?
One purchase covers unlimited use with your own classes. Please don’t upload them to public websites.
