"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler"-Albert Einstein. These wise words from the worl'd greatest physicist has long inspired my lesson plans, ensuring that concepts are made as simple as possible without dumbing down. All paid for lessons follow the same design, all lessons are clearly differentiated, with plenty of peer assessment and self assessment to reduce teacher workload and are fun and engaging for student and teacher alike.

World Cup Science Skills/data handling

(13)
This is a lesson looking at how and when to draw different graphs, identifying variables and analysing a graph or data and planning an experiment. There are three different worksheets at the beginning to go with the PowerPoint, one for low ability, one for intermediate and one for high ability students to be printed off before the lesson.

Specific Heat Capacity of types of Coca-cola

(0)
Is there really a difference between the many different brands of Coca-Cola? Coke zero and diet coke both have the same number of calories etc, but interestingly have different specific heat capacities. This lesson was for a high ability year 9 class who had already done a little on SHC.
The Vacuum Flask

The Vacuum Flask

(5)
A worksheet aimed at helping students to map out what they need to put in the common six mark exam question, covering all the key features of the vacuum flask, which type of transfer they prevent/reduce and key words that should be included.

New Advances in Science Posters

(6)
I have these colourful posters displayed randomly around my room, i print them double sided and alternate them every fortnight. They are pictures taken from the I love science group on Facebook filled with the newest advances in science to help engage students and to allow students to see how what they are learning in the classroom can change the way our world works. There are a mixture of Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Engineering.
Physics App of the fortnight
physicsfairyphysicsfairy

Physics App of the fortnight

(1)
A series of posters displaying different FREE apps to encourage students to continue learning outside of the classroom, a mixture of revision and curriculum apps and general apps about advances in science.

Science Literacy and Reference mats

(11)
These mats have been adapted from some of the ones already on here. They include a level descriptions, key lab rules, periodic tables, table of units as well as a literacy side. This could be laminated and stuck to the desks as one between two.

Edison Vs Telsa (AC/DC Currents)

(7)
This worksheet is aimed at a low ability class studying alternating and direct currents. The videos attached go nicely with this worksheet. To finish off I got my pupils to debate who they would rather be, Thomas Edison or Nickola Telsa. Feedback Appreciated.

How Sound Travels

(0)
This worksheet covers the 'bell in the vacuum' experiment and looks at why sound travels at different speeds in different mediums. Mainly aimed for a low ability group.
Current Wars
physicsfairyphysicsfairy

Current Wars

(0)
A worksheet based AC and DC currents, using the history of science talking about Edison and Telsa as the starting point. This was used for low ability pupils.
Planet's Whose who
physicsfairyphysicsfairy

Planet's Whose who

(1)
This worksheet describes each of the 8 planets and gets pupils to work out which planet it is describing. this works well both as a revision tool for KS4 and as a reinforcing exercise for KS3 students.
Mission to Mars

Mission to Mars

(1)
This activity can be adapted easily for a wide variety of different ages and abilities. It gets the pupils to think about and/or research the pros and cons of spending billions of pounds on a mission to mars. Pupils then decide on what their view of the matter is and write a letter to the Prime Minister arguing for or against it. this activity could then lead onto a classroom debate about it.
Fundamental Forces

Fundamental Forces

(3)
This is a 'who am i' activity. It gets the students to read 10 different descriptions and the students need to say which of the four fundamental forces it is describing.
Quark Composition
physicsfairyphysicsfairy

Quark Composition

(3)
This worksheet allows students to envision the combination of quarks for baryons (protons and neutrons only) and mesons (kaon and pions only). This worksheet should also be useful for students when they move onto conservation laws and also revision. Based on the AQA syllabus, but should be useful for other exam boards too.
Particles and Quantum Glossary
physicsfairyphysicsfairy

Particles and Quantum Glossary

(2)
This covers all the key words and new words AS students will cover in the first module of AS Physics (AQA). I will be using it for the students to fill in at the end of each lesson the words they have learnt so they can then use it for revision during the exam period. However this could be given to pupils to do over a homework (or two!) as revision.

Feynman Diagrams (Particulary AQA A)

(0)
This worksheet allows pupils to learn the six specific feynman diagrams required by the AQA A syllabus, but could also be used by other exam boards for practise. This will also be good for revision.
Classifying Particles

Classifying Particles

(0)
Fundamental Particles. This worksheet is to help AS level students get their heads around the different types of particles studied to to be used to refer back to throughout the topic. It should also be useful for revision.
