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.

I have differentiated the lesson for low, medium and higher students and SEN students.
The lesson contains :
1a. starter -Multiple choice to establish what students know and do not know.
1.b Lesson powerpoint to review force diagrams with exam questions
2. Circus activity - where students calculate resultant force and have to use correct terms to describe motion
3. markscheme of circus for teacher to review learning - mini plenary
4. A mini-whiteboard quiz based on superheros to check learning
5. list of forces - This will guide the students when adding forces arrows and names on the diagrams.
6. Exam question plenary
For more Force diagrams resources check out my GCSE 9-1 force diagrams. This has applied task on take off and landing with full markschemes and guide is provided.
GCSE 9-1 combined and Physics force and elasticity
Single sheet for students to take notes and practise F=Kx hooks law equation.

suitable for ks3, ks4 and ks5 SCIENCE
This is a fantastic activity to do in summer. The curriculum link is : practicals skills , Energy transfers, Newtons laws.
This resource allows student to investigate the relationship between height of drop and impact crater.
you only need marbles, metre sticks and sand, goggles
I have created the worksheet that allows students to collect datan analyse and apply to exam questions.
1 worksheet 1 lesson.
The powerpoint presentation is included.
Students really enjoy the context and ability to do an investigation and link it to real life.
