Energy transfer Define conservation of energy. Describe examples of energy transfer. 3. Conservation of energy Describe how energy is conserved for a falling object. Describe how energy is conserved for a pendulum. 4. Energy and work Define work in physics. Calculate work done by a force. 5. Gravitational potential energy Define and calculate gravitational potential energy. State factors that affect gravitational potential energy. 6. Kinetic energy Define and calculate kinetic energy. State factors that affect kinetic energy. 7. Elastic potential energy Define and calculate elastic potential energy. 8. Efficiency Identify input energy, useful energy, and wasted energy of a system. Define and calculate efficiency of a system. 9. Power Describe power as the rate at which energy is transferred. Calculate the power of a system. Slides include exam-style questions, starter tasks, plenary tasks, summary questions, activities, and theory. Enjoy!

Resources (including questions) for pupils learning momentum and conservation of momentum.

Here's a resource full of theory and tasks for pupils in key stage 3 and 4 to learn about aerobic respiration. Enjoy!

Topic: Energy efficiency / Power efficiency Level: GCSE, key stage 4 I am following the AQA science (physics) syllabus but this resource is suitable for anyone teaching KS4 physics. Resources: 1. Powerpoint slides: This includes starter task, theory notes, small tasks, and plenary task. 2. Notes for pupils: Use this document as worksheets or handouts. Pupils can take notes during lesson or complete tasks in this editable document. Also, it includes exam style questions. Hope this resource is helpful for you. Please do let me know if there's any suggestions for improvement. I aim to upload all my lessons on "Energy and Energy Resources" so that you can have a complete set of lessons for this unit. Enjoy!

Use this revision mat for revision of ks4 topics in forces and motion. The powerpoint is more of an aid - the main activity is the revision mat.

Here's a resource for ks3 and ks4 pupils to learn about Anaerobic Respiration. The powerpoint covers theory and contains differentiated tasks and a practical / investigation. A practical handout is also included. Enjoy!

This resource is useful for pupils learning changing states in ks4. Here's the structure of the lesson: 1. Particle models for solid, liquid, gas 2. State changes 3. Metallic / ionic / covalent bonds 4. Melting points 5. Multiple choice short quiz Enjoy!

Here's a complete lesson (could be a double lesson if you carry out the practical explained in the powerpoint) for pupils (ks3 or ks4) to learn about metals and acids reactions. The presentation covers theory and contains tasks and prompts for class discussions. There is also a practical activity, with expected results recorded in the powerpoint. Enjoy!

This set of powerpoint presentations consists of 25 slides (around 1.5 to 2 hours of work for students). Students will learn to explain why the pressure in a liquid varies with depth and density. Afterwards, they will progress onto learning the physics of floating and sinking objects, and the factors that influence it. Enjoy!

11 question booklets with mark schemes I have organised questions (mostly exam style questions) by the topics in forces and motion. They come with mark schemes. Here are the topics: Speed, distance, and time Distance-time graphs Velocity and acceleration Velocity-time graphs Tangent on distance-time graphs Equations of motion Types of forces Scalars and vectors Resultant forces Newton’s second law Mass and weight

I’ve used these resources with my students for the teaching of “solids, liquids and gases” or also known as “states of matter” for GCSE physics. They lasted for more than 7 lessons (45min each period), which will differ depending on your set’s ability and the duration of each period. I’ve tried to include as much detail as possible in the teaching notes. I’ve included answers to all the questions and tasks in these resources. Enjoy! This resource bundle includes: 1 powerpoint presentation (16 slides) 7 class handouts / worksheets 7 teaching notes for class handouts / worksheets 7 homework assignments 7 homework assignment mark schemes Topics State of matter - solids, liquids, gases, changing states Specific heat capacity - calculation of SHC Latent heat - temperature and changing states, cooling curve Temperature - conversion between Kelvin and Celsius Molecular kinetic theory - Brownian motion Pressure and volume - Boyle’s law Pressure and temperature - Gay-Lussac’s law
