I am a KS3-4 Physics teacher currently teaching in the North West of England. In addition to physics, I am also pursuing an Astronomy GCSE for my school. I will only upload items that I am proud of and as such I hope you will agree are of a good quality.

Energy Resources Literacy Question - Year 7 Science

(0)
This recource is a literacy based question on the title topic for the year 7 scheme of work followed by most boards. Included is a question sheet and the success criteria. The students could use the criteria to write an answer and the either the teacher or the students could assess the answer using the criteria and offer improvements.
Lesson 5 - Current and Resistance - KS3 Electricity

Lesson 5 - Current and Resistance - KS3 Electricity

(0)
This is the first lesson in the SoW that needs an equation - it’s a required to remember equation for AQA physics. The lesson is a calculation heavy lesson and fistly models how to use power triangles and equations, then the students can attempt a differentiated demonstrate task. The most able students will likely need an extension task, so have one to hand. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.

WWW and EBI Generator

(0)
This is the generic generator I use to create WWW and EBI comments for a class. You populate the list with student names and fill in 6 different WWWs and EBIs for a given topic. then number the students appropriately. On sheet 2, the printouts will appear. simply print from here and done!
Nuclear Power - Location debate lesson - AQA Physics 2016 Spec - Energy Topic

Nuclear Power - Location debate lesson - AQA Physics 2016 Spec - Energy Topic

(0)
This is a fully resourced lesson covering both the positives and negatives of nuclear power as a source of energy, but then goes deeper into the ethics and justifications for where we build them. The main purpose of this is to help develop more higher order thinking about the topic as groups will be tasked to evaluate and justify their choice of site and be able to articulate effective reasoning. There is also a third task of peer assessment - using a success criteria, the "site selection committee" are then put under scrutiny from the "HM Government" and they have to decide if they made a persuasive enough argument. It's all made up to be rather thought provoking and fun. Possibly more suited to higher ability in it's current form, but could easily be scaffolded for lower ability classes. I work in the North West, so unfortunately that's the map you've got! You could easily replace it with your own if you wish with no problems though.
Revision of Electricity Topic - AQA 2016 New Specifcation

Revision of Electricity Topic - AQA 2016 New Specifcation

(2)
This is a revision task intended to summarise the whole of the circuits and electricity topic on the new AQA Physics specification. I have used the specification itself to ensure I covered as much as possible, however I did want to keep it to two pages maximum, so one or two things are absent. Print this back to back to reduce paper wastage. The last slide is an extension task - students can cut out these question cards and write their own questions using the revision sheet to help them. These can then be passed to other members of the group.

KS3 Light topic - Colours and light projector demonstration

(0)
This is very simply just a big picture. What I have done is make these three colours using the three primary light colours red, green and blue. I have made it big enough so that you will need to really zoom in in order to see the individually coloured pixels. I have looked all over this internet for a similar type of "wow factor" demonstration of light illusions and could find none. Hope you like it! :D

Forces and Pressure KS3 Physics Topic - L8 - Pressure on Solids

(0)
This resource contains both a PowerPoint and an accompanying learning mat/worksheet for the activities in the lesson. The learning mat is designed to be folded and glued into a book. It is split into two lessons, one for planning and one for the investigation and graph. This is lesson eight in a SoW that is designed to into AQA GCSE content by year 9. This lesson goes into the idea of balanced and unbalanced forces and then defines a resultant force.

Forces and their Interactions Revision - AQA New Specification - Physics Trilogy content

(0)
This is a revision task intended to summarise the first part of the forces topic on the new AQA Physics specification. I have used the specification itself to ensure I covered as much as possible, and I have also included on this the physics only content that is required if you are teaching trilogy. I have made a combined science one as well if that is more suited. Print this back to back to reduce paper wastage. The last slide is an extension task - students can cut out these question cards and write their own questions using the revision sheet to help them. These can then be passed to other members of the group.

Revision of Atomic Structure Physics Trilogy - AQA 2016 New Specification

(0)
This is a revision task intended to summarise the whole of the atomic structure topic on the new AQA Physics specification. I have used the specification itself to ensure I covered as much as possible, and I have also included on this the physics only content that is required if you are teaching trilogy. I have made a combined science one as well if that is more suited. The physics only are highlighted in orange. Print this back to back to reduce paper wastage. The last slide is an extension task - students can cut out these question cards and write their own questions using the revision sheet to help them. These can then be passed to other members of the group.

Static Charge - Lesson 17 - Electricity - AQA Physics 2016 Specification

(0)
This is my lesson on Static Charge for the new AQA Specification. I have included my worksheet that I made for this lesson, but you will need a textbook or some exam questions for the demonstrate section of the lesson or some other form of assessment. AQA will have a range o worksheets that you could use. Please be aware that this is very similar to one of my year 11 lessons I have, so if you did buy that one, no need to get this one as it's just that but a bit more stripped down! Should also me noted that this is an Physics only lesson. Not required for Combined award.

Electric Fields - Lesson 18 - Electricity - Physics AQA New Specification

(0)
This is a Physics only lesson in the Electricity topic of the new AQA Specification. It is a light lesson as there is not a lot of content that the students are required to know. Perhaps stick it together with static charge if you have hour lessons (mine are 50 mins). You will also need an appropriate AQA worksheet to go with this as I used copyrighted exam questions to assess.

Numeracy in Science - Drawing Tables

(0)
This is a numeracy/skills based lesson designed to train students into the proper ways of creating and labelling a good scientific table. The main activity involves having the class create an extensive table for an experiment (you may choose to complete the experiment if you wish!) and they can PASA their progress on these skills at the end.

Revision of Waves Topic - Combined Science and Physics Only - AQA Physics New 2016 Specification

(4)
This is intended as a revision worksheet summary of the Waves topic in AQA Physics 2016. This includes the content relevant to the Trilogy and the Combined Science award. I have managed to keep them on separate pages, so simply print the pages you require (page 2 is Physics Only). I have used the AQA specification to create all of these questions and as such should not be missing anything major from the topic. The last slide are question cards you can hand out as an extension for students who finish to make their own questions for their peers.

Lesson 2 - Modelling Circuits - KS3 Electricity

(3)
This resource contains a powerpoint and an learning mat. The content is a 50 min lesson on different models of circuit (for non specialists, I have included a slide at the start that may be useful). The idea is simply to demonstrate the models and evaluate each one. There are extra activities/printouts at the end of the powerpoint if needed. I have also included the learning mat that goes with this lesson that can be stuck into books.
