A cut and stick activity for lower ability students to link types of radiation to its use

A leveled task on Forces and their effect suitable for KS3. The presentation has 3 slides. Slide 1 is the pupil sheet, slide 2 contains the mark scheme and slide 3 has suitable comments to use give a target on how to improve scientific knowledge. This is a free sample. I have 11 more of these available in the same format for £3.00

A display with quotes by famous people about 'Curiosity in Science'

A presentation of different Optical Illusions - Just for the fun of it!

A summary of atomic structure and radiation in a easily accessible fashion. Used with a low ability group and printed on A3 paper

A revision mat on for the Trilogy AQA Physics radiation unit. Print out a blank copy of the summary sheet. Give pupils access to the internet of textbooks to try and find the answers. The answers are available for self / peer assessment by the end of the lesson. Also a good homework activity to assist in revision before an end of unit test

Summary sheet for the Conservation and dissipation of energy unit. The answers are supplied, but students should use the internet or textbooks to try and fill as many gaps as possible before the answers are supplied.

A fully resourced lesson. Print out the leaflet as an A5 booklet. The presentation has slides that can be printed out and laminated if you wish, and then placed around the room for pupils to gather information from. The radiation cards act like A,B,C cards and can be used so pupils can show their response to the quiz at the end of the lesson

This lesson links to the new AQA physics / Trilogy GCSE. The resources give pupils the opportunity to use graphs to carry out data analysis and make conclusion from the data they find. The data is linked to domestic and global energy demands and the energy resources we use to provide these needs. One of the tasks includes a group activity where pupils need to present their findings. There is a starter to summarise environmental issues linked to use of fossil Fuels. The lesson also includes how fossil fuel and nuclear power stations generate electricity where pupils complete a sequencing activity.

A presentation that links the structure of an atom to what is meant by a stable and unstable nucleus

A presentation to take students through the theory of density. The presentation also walks pupils through the techniques needed to calculate density for regular and irregular solids and liquids. An adapted version of the AQA required Practical worksheet has also been included. There is a set of differentiated questions on density calculations and theory to challenge students - the calculation answers are on the presentation.

A summary of energy transfers for the physics P1 content - this summary is suitable for medium to low ability students. I have used this printed on A3 paper and it has kept students engaged for an extended time trying to fit in all the answers

An introduction to laws of reflection before instructions on how to make a kaleidoscope. Good for a KS3 or low ability KS4 group. Lots of fun and the disposable mirrors are relatively cheap to get hold of.

A lesson that covers the circuit symbols used in the AQA trilogy / physics course 2016, but could easily be adapted for any syllabus or KS3. There are assessment opportunities, practical activities and a worksheet included in the resource

The first 4 units for the Physics Paper 1 split into sub sections. Pupils are to spend no more than 4/5 minutes on each section to try and ensure that the whole of a topic is covered.

The last 3 units for the Physics Paper 2 split into sub sections. Pupils are to spend no more than 4/5 minutes on each section to try and ensure that the whole of a topic is covered.

A presentation and calculations to teach about electrical charge and current. There are various assessment questions as part of the PowerPoint

A lesson following on from the introduction of circuit symbol and simple circuits. Pupils are asked to interpret circuit diagrams and build given parallel and series circuits. The plenary tests understanding of the difference between parallel and series circuit diagrams

A presentation with accompanying resources to teach about voltage in series and parallel circuit

Leveled tasks on various hysics topics suitable for KS3. Each presentation has 3 slides. Slide 1 is the pupil sheet, slide 2 contains the mark scheme and slide 3 has suitable comments to use give a target on how to improve scientific knowledge. Taken by an OFSTED inspector to give to a school as an example of good practice for a school in special measures
