This is a bundle of 12 fully planned lessons and full PowerPoints to assist in the delivery of an Astrophysics course.
This not only fully completes the AQA Unit 9 scheme (Optional Astrophysics course) but would be ideal for running a Stretch and Challenge GCSE club
This course has excellent ideas, pictures and mathematical solutions to assist in the astrophysics sections of other examination boards
This bundle represents a saving of 46% on the purchase price of the lessons separately.

This is a 12 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of Efficiency and Mechanical Advantage as applied to lifting machines in engineering.
This is the seventh PowerPoint in this section which covers Mechanical Advantage and Velocity Ratio in ideal systems and then applies this to non-perfect scenarios so that efficiency can be calculated. The lifting machine of a block being pushed up a slope is used throughout this PowerPoint to cover this topic in an easy to understand manner. This is extended to more complex listing machines in the next PowerPoint in the series.
This is a 15 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of Lifting Machines which includes The Inclined Plane, Pulleys, Screw Jacks and Scissor Mechanisms.
This is the eighth and final PowerPoint in this section which covers each of these main lifting mechanisms and includes worked example calculations for each example.
This is an 10 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of single phase alternating current theory. This lessons revisits the graphical representation of AC voltage changes as a sine wave, and then covers the calculations for the average and root mean squared voltages. This is consolidated with a worked example that shows how the form factor is a constant.
This is the first PowerPoint in this section (Single Phase Alternating Current).
This PowerPoint lesson on Transformers covers the application of induction to the construction of AC transformers. The mathematics and formulae for both power and voltage across transformers is covered, together with a worked example. There is also a comprehensive set of questions and answers.
This is the final (of 8) lessons in this section entitled “Magnetism and Electromagnetism” which is available as a bundle in our shop.
