PhysicsHigh

PhysicsHigh is a physics channel made in New South Wales, Australia, aimed at high school students. Many of its videos follow the NSW curriculum, but the physics is the same in UK classrooms.

The videos explain one concept at a time and keep the maths at a school level. Topics include electromagnetism, motion, forces and modern physics. Some videos are short summaries, while others are hands-on builds and experiments. There are also exam technique videos and a podcast that interviews scientists about what inspired them.

Some highlights include:

A homemade cloud chamber makes particle tracks visible without dry ice, with an explanation of how it works.

An explanation of how AC and DC generators turn motion into electricity.

Banked curves and circular motion are explained, showing why roads and tracks are tilted on bends.

The channel has around 146,000 subscribers.

Generators and electromagnetism lead straight to electrical and power engineering. Circular motion on banked curves is a real problem for civil engineers designing roads and railways. The channel suits students building a solid base in physics before choosing an engineering route. The hands-on builds, such as the cloud chamber, are great ideas for school science clubs. Recent videos also cover exam technique and a muon detector taken on a plane to test relativity. The friendly teaching style makes tricky ideas feel manageable.
