This is a FREE SAMPLE LESSON to show the quality of my work. Please take it, use it and enjoy it! I've uploaded the entire of the GCSE OCR Physics lessons P1-P6. P1 Energy for the home P2 Living for the future P3 Forces for transport P4 Radiation for life P5 Space for reflection P6 Electricity for gadgets Many of these have some very fun and simple practicals, linked homework sheets including marking PowerPoints and all are animated and have lots of pupil appeal. They contain a lot of my life with as many photos as possible taken of me and my family. The photo on the roller-coast is of me and my wife to be, our wedding photo is in digital images, the ultra sound scan is my eldest draught and the various animals are ours. This lesson is typical of my work but by no means my best! Please take a look at my other resources. Curriculum
