Physics Transparencies

Illustrate physics concepts with science printables on earthquakes, magnets, pulleys, levers, circuits, and more. Use the diagrams, maps, and pictures below to create overhead transparencies for your classroom. Supplement lessons on nuclear physics, machines, electricity, magnetism, and geophysics with these visual aids.

Movement of Seismic Waves This geophysics printable illustrates the movement of seismic waves during an earthquake. First-, Second-, and Third-Class Levers Examine resistance, force, and three different types of levers with this physics printable. Pulley Mechanics Study the mechanics of fixed, moveable, and block and tackle pulleys with this physics resource. Use this printable as a transparency or a class handout. Wet Cell and Dry Cell This physics printable will help students visualize the flow of electrons in a wet cell and the composition of a battery (dry cell). Series Circuit and Parallel Circuit Differentiate between a series circuit and a parallel circuit with this visual. This printable makes an excellent transparency or handout. Step-Up and Step-Down Transformers Use this physics printable to help students visualize the difference between step-up and step-down transformers. Magnets Investigate magnetic fields with images and diagrams that demonstrate the magnetic lines of force between poles. Earth's Magnetic Field Further students knowledge of space with this diagram of Earth's magnetic fields. Use this printable to help students visualize the effects of solar winds entering Earth's atmosphere.

Common Types of Faults Help students visualize changes to the Earth's crust with illustrations of four common types of faults. This earth science printable can be used as a handout or transparency. Tectonic Plates Identify tectonic plates around the world with this map. Use this printable to further students' understanding of geology, geophysics, and oceanography. Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion Help students visualize the processes of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion with these diagrams. This chemistry printable demonstrates a deuterium-tritium fusion and the result of bombarding U-235 with a neutron.
