I am a KS3-4 Physics teacher currently teaching in the North West of England. In addition to physics, I am also pursuing an Astronomy GCSE for my school.
I will only upload items that I am proud of and as such I hope you will agree are of a good quality.

This is a summary sheet designed for use with the Activate Science books for KS3. I have put the numbers where relevant to help the searching of the necessary content. I have also included an extension task sheet where students can create and share their own questions on the topic.
This is a revision task intended to summarise the first part of the forces topic on the new AQA Physics specification. I have used the specification itself to ensure I covered as much as possible, and I have also included on this the physics only content that is required if you are teaching trilogy. I have made a combined science one as well if that is more suited.
Print this back to back to reduce paper wastage.
The last slide is an extension task - students can cut out these question cards and write their own questions using the revision sheet to help them. These can then be passed to other members of the group.
This is a revision task intended to summarise the whole of the atomic structure topic on the new AQA Physics specification. I have used the specification itself to ensure I covered as much as possible, and I have also included on this the physics only content that is required if you are teaching trilogy. I have made a combined science one as well if that is more suited. The physics only are highlighted in orange.

This is my lesson PowerPoint and worksheets I have created to teach the energy transfers topic in the new AQA Physics specification. The worksheets are all ready to be printed as are the mark schemes. It covers both of the required equations for this topic.
This is my lesson and resources on power and using the power equations. I have included my worksheets that I have made to assess the correct use of the power equations. The answers are also included.
This is my lesson on Static Charge for the new AQA Specification. I have included my worksheet that I made for this lesson, but you will need a textbook or some exam questions for the demonstrate section of the lesson or some other form of assessment. AQA will have a range o worksheets that you could use.
Please be aware that this is very similar to one of my year 11 lessons I have, so if you did buy that one, no need to get this one as it's just that but a bit more stripped down!
Should also me noted that this is an Physics only lesson. Not required for Combined award.
This is a Physics only lesson in the Electricity topic of the new AQA Specification. It is a light lesson as there is not a lot of content that the students are required to know. Perhaps stick it together with static charge if you have hour lessons (mine are 50 mins).
You will also need an appropriate AQA worksheet to go with this as I used copyrighted exam questions to assess.
This is my assessment piece for a power sources topic. Concerning Nuclear power, the students must answer the question according to the success criteria. You would then take this away and mark the work and provide feedback. The students would then reflect and improve upon their answer. Useful for either KS3 or 4. I used it with a year 8 class.
This is a worksheet created specifically to help embed mathematical principles in a science context. The worksheet is tasking the students to put things in and take things out of standard form.
This is bundled with an adjoining powerpoint if required.
This recource is a literacy based question on the title topic for the year 7 scheme of work followed by most boards. Included is a question sheet and the success criteria. The students could use the criteria to write an answer and the either the teacher or the students could assess the answer using the criteria and offer improvements.

This is a numeracy/skills based lesson designed to train students into the proper ways of creating and labelling a good scientific table.
The main activity involves having the class create an extensive table for an experiment (you may choose to complete the experiment if you wish!) and they can PASA their progress on these skills at the end.
This resource contains both a PowerPoint and an accompanying learning mat/worksheet for the activities in the lesson. The learning mat is designed to be folded and glued into a book. It is split into two lessons, one for planning and one for the investigation and graph.
This is lesson eight in a SoW that is designed to into AQA GCSE content by year 9. This lesson goes into the idea of balanced and unbalanced forces and then defines a resultant force.

Printable worksheets relating to the topic Forces and Pressure at KS3 Level. Made to accompany the rest of the topic content I have published, but could easily fit into any SoW.
This is the introductory lesson to a scheme of work I wrote on Electricity for KS3. This could be taught to any year, however as it is a stripped down version of the content in the AQA Physics Specification and as such is designed to be most useful for that course.
Lesson one revises content that should have been delivered in KS2, namely what a conductor and an insulator are. I have also added in the learning mat I made for the lesson as well.
Please bear in mind that this lesson is designed for a 50 minute period, and as such you may need to add in another activity if you are an hour lesson.
