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

This lesson allows students to learn about technology to look into space.
The lesson can open with discussion on ways to look into space, followed by images taken by Hubble ( not created by me). You can also ask students to share their ideas about stars and need to observe space.
Students can then be introduced to two types of telescopes ( briefly).
Students can then move around the room and collect information to complete their table from the fact sheets on different technologies used to look into space.
The lesson can end with extended writing on comparing Land based and spaced based technologies to look into space.
I have updated the information sheets and formatted them. I will update the powerpoint shortly as well.

GCSE 9-1 PHYSICS AND COMBINED SCIENCE.
Students are expected to know the typical speed of objects and determine distance and time based on this.
Students also need to be able to state factors that affect speed of sound, speed of wind, speed of a person walking, cycling and running.
Futhermore, students need to be able to know speed of sound and what Mach speed means and how to convert mach speed into m/s.
The summer term where you need students to do activities and have fun but do not want to plan too much ,spend on equipment and still want control of the lesson.
Activity : the students investigate the length of the blade and time for the paper helicopter to fall.
Student worksheet contains exam questions and set the activity in context.
I have attached NASA resources.
Enjoy!
