Fundamental Particles Card Game (quarks, leptons etc)

(1)
Plays by the same rules as popular children’s card game “TopTrumps”. A card game with twenty-three different fundamental particles. I recommend this to introduce the particles topic at A-level, it is very engaging. Make up a whole class set for students to work in pairs they will accidentally learn loads whilst having fun. My students often have the cards in front of them throughout the topic. Added rules for annihilation when a particle and antiparticle meet. Graphics used by permission by the Particle Zoo

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.

Atomic Symbols and Nuclear Equations Worksheets

(0)
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.

This lesson is a favourite of mine. The topic may not be on an examined syllabus anymore but works as an excellent extension or gain time lesson. Contains a lot of big ideas but broken up with short activities. Differentiated question sheets are embedded in the powerpoint. Ofsted judged this lesson with my year 9s as"outstanding" in every area.
