Six splendid puzzles to display on your interactive whiteboard. These make great lesson starters and are an essential part of a teacher's toolkit. You probably already know the River Crossing puzzle. The puzzles are animated to make them very attention grabbing. No printing is needed; all the puzzles should be solvable without the need to write anything down. Very engaging and fun.

Five interactive competitive games on A2 Physics topics of Astro, Capacitors, Gravity, Space and Thermophysics. These will make a very welcome break from other less thrilling means of revision. The Matching Pairs Game is a fun and competitive interactive whiteboard game in which two teams take it in turns to match tiles. The game automatically scores and has a built in timer in the event of a draw. Students really enjoy the competitiveness. This game won a Microsoft innovation award. An editor is separately available to make your own games; https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/matching-pairs-interactive-game-creator-11063058 These five games are also available together in a discounted bundle of ten A-level Matching Pairs Games; https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/bundler/11560439 bennyjohn5@hotmail.com

A carefully designed lesson on fuses. It is designed to follow on from a lesson on wiring plugs. All worksheets include careful answers and there are lots of opportunities for extension work. Interactive plug parts recap Fuses notes & calculations Fuse wire practical Dangerous appliance diagrams Exam questions

The pdf file allows students to independently learn and practise the A-level Young Modulus topic. Students use this pdf file on iPads/ tablets. Think of it as a very interactive text book, or a bit like Ceefax or Teletext from the olden days. Performance will vary through different apps and platforms. The Adobe Acrobat Reader is optimal on “single page view”, Outlook and OneNote are inferior. Also available as interactive eBooks; Moments of Inertia pV graphs for Engineering Adding Resistors A level GCSE Energy GCSE Radioactivity GCSE Electricity bennyjohn5@hotmail.com

This lesson is designed to get students to recognise stars, planets and constellations with just their eyes. The lesson contains notes on Orion and the Plough and a short quiz.

Atomic diagrams and the scattering diagram are enhanced with animations. A starter is included to test and recap learning on atomic symbols and isotopes. The presentation has a link to a suitable Youtube clip. The end of the presentation has questions (& answers) on the analysis of Rutherford’s experiment.

A set of cards describing the stages in the life of a star. Can be printed as a card sort or done on computer(s) using the first slide. Answers are included. Appropriate for AQA P3 unit and OCR 21stC P7 unit.

I used this to teach refraction at GCSE level, but could work as an introduction for A-level. Uses a tractor stuck in the mud analogy to aid students in working out which direction rays bend. This resource also includes a starter quiz, plenary and question sheets with answers plus a Snell’s law extension for gifted students. There is plenty of material here which could easily be cropped to tailor to your own class.

An exemplar FREE Four in a Row game on Radioactivity is available to try before you buy. Four in a Row games on six other physics topics are available individually from my shop or as a bundle at a greatly reduced price. Four in a Row is a game for your whiteboard. Nothing needs to be printed or prepared to play this game. The game-play is somewhere between noughts and crosses and blockbusters. Two teams alternate, competing to correctly answer questions on the grid. The board is interactive - clicking tiles changes the colours and also reveals answers. Physics Equations Four in a Row is designed primarily for GCSE Physics/ Combined Science courses but may be useful elsewhere.

Two worksheets with answers on atomic symbols, isotopes, alpha and beta decay, fission and fusion nuclear equations. A very brief presentation is included with examples for alpha and beta decay. When my students met this topic in A2 OCR Physics, these resources provided a satisfying recap. Students generally muddled through the questions with answers requiring little teacher input. These worksheets would also work well for GCSE students.

Includes careful notes and diagrams, results from a practical and exam style questions. My favourite item here is an extension task to stretch the most able in your group - students find the maximum power output from a cell using differentiation or trial and improvement.

A GCSE Physics summary revision lesson on parachuting. Covers forces, motion graphs, momentum & energy topics. The basics are handled with a card sort and forces quiz. There is lots here to extend more able students. This resource can be easily tailored to suit your class. Students are gripped by the skydiving/ parachuting context. There is plenty of material here which could easily be cropped to tailor to your own class.

I selected 18 questions from the past papers to use with my year 13 class. All the answers are carefully presented. The difficulty is graded for every question ★★★☆☆ The formatting enabled me to use the questions on our remote learning platform. I tried to choose questions with interesting examples. So not the salad spinner one. In the 2020 lockdown I developed four interactive ebooks to help teach and test material for the Engineering unit. These are strongly recommended.
