A set of four posters showing the Physics equations that students need to memorise for the GCSE Physics / GCSE Combined Science exams. These are presented as four small .jpg images suitable for students to put on their phones. Convince them to change their wallpaper?!
A1 resolution print versions suitable for your classroom/corridor displays are also available here:

A companion document to the full "ENERGY/PARTICLES/FORCES unit summaries/checklists for AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (Physics)".
This shortened version contains only the material that students need to revise for Physics Paper 1.
A PowerPoint presentation introducing A-level students to the concept of beta minus decay, beta plus decay, electron capture, neutrinos and the weak interaction. Following the OCR Physics A specification, but physics is physics, so suitable for all courses!
One of a bundle of presentations on different aspects of nuclear physics.
Please note that TES’s software doesn’t always seem to generate accurate thumbnail images of PPTs with background images, so if the preview images look odd on your display they aren’t indicative of what the slides actually look like.
One of six PowerPoint presentations for the Medical Physics unit of A-level OCR Physics A, matched to the Oxford OCR A-Level Physics A textbook. This PPT covers the production and use of ultrasound.
Please note that the TES software that produces thumbnail images doesn’t always seem to handle background images in PPT slides very well. If the thumbnails look odd on your display, that is not how they really look!

A simple yet rigorous mathematical derivation of the centripetal acceleration formula, a=(v^2)/r, including that the direction is towards the centre of the circle. Use as a handout for A-level students who want to push themselves a little beyond the specification without getting out of their depth.
6-minute video leading students through the derivation of the four Equations of Motion for objects moving with constant acceleration (SUVAT), starting from a velocity-time graph and then using the gradient and the area under the graph (and a little algebraic manipulation) to arrive at the set of four. Great for some flipped learning, a little revision or some consolidation.

One of six PowerPoint presentations for the Medical Physics unit of A-level OCR Physics A, matched to the Oxford OCR A-Level Physics A textbook. This PPT covers what a CAT scanner is and how it works.
Please note that the TES software that produces thumbnail images doesn’t always seem to handle background images in PPT slides very well. If the thumbnails look odd on your display, that is not how they really look! Please take a look at the Ultrasound presentation instead.

An editable 2-year calendar-based long-term planner for your schemes of work for AQA's GCSE Physics and GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (Physics).
Prefilled to match the units described elsewhere in my shop or within this bundle.
A summary of the AQA GCSE Physics "Magnetism and Electromagnetism" topic, presented in a student-friendly and attractive form. Students can use it as a concise revision checklist or as a "what to expect" introduction. Teachers can use it as a more useful starting point than the original specification for writing a medium-term plan of the scheme of work for this topic.
The order of the statements has been altered and the wording changed in places compared to the specification, to reflect how the concepts might be better taught and learnt. Required practicals and equations are emphasised and Higher Tier and Physics-only concepts are clearly highlighted.
A summary of the AQA GCSE Physics "Space Physics" topic, presented in a student-friendly and attractive form. Students can use it as a concise revision checklist or as a "what to expect" introduction. Teachers can use it as a more useful starting point than the original specification for writing a medium-term plan of the scheme of work for this topic.

Summaries of the AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (Physics) "Energy", "Particle model of matter" and "Forces" topics, presented in a student-friendly and attractive form. Students can use them as concise revision checklists or as "what to expect" introductions. Teachers can use them as a more useful starting point than the original specification for writing a medium-term plan of the scheme of work for these topics.
The order of the statements has been altered and the wording changed in places compared to the specification, to reflect how the concepts might be better taught and learnt. In particular, some of the "Energy" and "Particles" topics have been relocated to the "Forces" topic, where they make more sense alongside related concepts.
Required practicals and equations are emphasised and Higher Tier concepts are clearly highlighted.
A summary of the AQA GCSE Physics "Atomic Structure" topic, presented in a student-friendly and attractive form. Students can use it as a concise revision checklist or as a "what to expect" introduction.
