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.

2. Energy market place activity -active learning
3. Mini plenary - traffic light
4. Exam questions - and worksheet designed for students to follow the powerpoint.
slides : What is a system ( open/closed system) PHYSICS only!
5. group task on energy transfers.
6. Final plenary - exam questions with mark scheme 1 combined , 1 higher and one Level 9 Question.
7. Homework worksheets and other resources
8. seating plan template, timers, lesson plan, Scheme of work section on this lesson.
There are a lot of resources here, you can select the relevant ones for your class, and student ability,
I have differentiated for low, medium and higher ability, SEN, EAL.
NOTE some images contain flash images, if you have student with Epilepsy then please edit these slides.

This can also be an excellent homework / revision worksheet before an exam.
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’

Equation of motion is part of Forces unit.
Students need to be able to use the acceleration formula and manitpulate it to find initial velocity, final velocity as well as time.
I have linked the lesson to Formula 1. Teachers can show short video as starter, lead a discussion in what makes the car super fast and how engineers are always trying to make the car fast.
Students can be encouraged into researching careers in F1.
I have attached markschemes so peer marking and feedback is instant.
Students really enjoyed this lesson and almost all of them made fast progress with this lesson.
