I am an experienced Physics teacher who enjoys creating resource that engage students to do their best in Physics. I also create chemistry and Biology resources. I like active lessons with differentiation so all my resources are differentiated. All my resources are non-specialist friendly.

Exam questions from past papers.
Markscheme included
updated Jan 30th 2020
Student feedback from my classes :
’ can you make more of these as it helps me learn and revise a difficult concept. I can make notes on one side and then use it apply to easy, medium ,and higher exam questions’.
’ It is one page so I can organise it easily and it does not put me off’
‘In the lesson I know exactly what is being taught and what the expectations are , there is no time wasted in copying titles and Learning objectives.
’ it is one worksheet as opposed to so many teachers give, which can be boring’
’ I like that i can high-light it and make notes in organised way and then use it to answer exam questions - I feel like I have achieved something every lesson’
This is in new Gcse physics Spec 9-1 and combined science.
