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.

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.
This is a revision worksheet that summarises the above topic from the Activate 2 Science books for KS3 Year 8. I have also included page numbers from those books where applicable to ease the finding of the content for the questions.
Also included is an extension task of writing new questions based on the content that the class can peer test with
This is my revision resource for the Activate book 1 Forces topic. I have referenced page numbers as well for students to easily find things.
Additionally I have added an extension task of question cards - the students make up their own forces questions and hand them to each other to test themselves.
This is intended as a revision worksheet summary of the magnets and electromagnets topic in AQA Physics 2016. This includes the content relevant to the Combined course and also omits all Higher Tier content as well. (These can be found on a different sheet)
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.
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
This is a revision task intended to summarise the first half 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 tailored this worksheet to the combined science specification. Physics trilogy students will need to use a different worksheet (which I have made).
The forces topic is very large so I am splitting the revision of it into two as it does split quite nicely.

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.

This is a supplementary powerpoint that you could use to deliver this classic activity. you will need sticky tape and paper for the main activity, but this can give it a nice framing and you can link it to whatever topic you require (Forces, Matter, Enrichment day, etc.)
The emphasis is on teamwork.
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.

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.
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.
This is an entirely optional lesson - a reflection lesson that I use after I have marked books and expect homework in. A series of tasks are included on the slides and it is expected that the students will have marking/questions to do from your comments in the books.
This is my assessment piece for a power sources topic. Concerning Nuclear power, the students must answer the question according to the success criteria. You would then take this away and mark the work and provide feedback. The students would then reflect and improve upon their answer. Useful for either KS3 or 4. I used it with a year 8 class.
This is a worksheet created specifically to help embed mathematical principles in a science context. The worksheet is tasking the students to put things in and take things out of standard form.
This is bundled with an adjoining powerpoint if required.
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.

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.
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.
