AQA Physics option module - Turning points (Material needed!)

Hey, we are supposed to self teach/make powerpoints on this option module for the class.

But i have no idea where to even get the information/books to do this...

Anyone know of any useful books/resources to get?

Thanks for any help :biggrin:

If you have access to an AS Maths textbook it should be there under C2.

I don't know if your confusing this for something else, but turning points is about the discovery of the electron, wave particle duality and Eintein's Special relativity.

I recommend getting the Collins Student Support Materials book; it contains material for all the option topics:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Student-Support-Materials-AQA-Physics/dp/0007343868

You can also use the AQA online physics notes:
The discovery of the electron
Wave-particle duality
Special relativity

The unit 4 book is quite good; I find most of the explanations are better than the AQA textbook (bar energy of a system undergoing SHM). Both books have practice exam style questions at the back (with answers and explanations), which are useful.
