GCSE Science / Physics - Nuclear Fission (PowerPoint and Lesson Plan) This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explaining nuclear fission. This is the twelfth lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson covers the basic idea of splitting the atomic nucleus from neutron capture and expressing this as a diagram and nuclear equation. Chain reactions, nuclear bombs and nuclear power are also used to discuss fission in context. The good and bad aspects of fission are used to stimulate a discussion with a differentiated task list for pupils to then create work of their own on the topic. There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching this topic as well as ideas to assist the teacher in differentiating the lesson and setting homework; a PowerPoint also supports the lesson. Updated March 2017 (Corrected mass numbers on fission diagram)

This is a lesson and PowerPoint that recaps distance calculations in cosmology including parallax, spectroscopy, supernovae and red-shift. This then supports the big bang theory by linked this to the CMB and hydrogen/helium ratios before finally explaining Quasars and how we measure their distances. As well as supporting A-Level Physics for many exam boards this lesson is also part of a chapter that covers the optional astrophysics unit 9 for AQA

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint introducing students to circuit diagrams and circuit symbols. This is the first lesson in the Electricity unit of work (P2). There are ideas for homework, advise on differentiated teaching of the subject and PDF A3 circuit diagrams to print out and laminate to assist weaker students with this, often difficult activity. There is also a PDF card sort to print out of all of the circuit symbols required by the National Curriculum and examination board. v1.01 - Corrected first slide, oval sent to back of page

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explaining how an electric loudspeaker works. This is the fifth lesson in the Electromagnetism unit of work (P7). The lesson recaps sound, longitudinal waves, frequency and amplitude and then applies them to a moving coil speaker, building on the knowledge of the motor force and solenoids from the previous lessons in the chapter. There are two PowerPoints either with or without the short 5 second video clip of the practical so that the 26MB download is optional. Ideas for differentiation, discussion, research and homework also included in lesson plan.

This is a lesson and PowerPoint that explains magnitude of stars, the link between apparent and absolute magnitude, luminosity, the Hipparcos scale, parallax calculations and the Stephen-Boltzmann formula. This is an 18 page PowerPoint together with detailed lesson plan and experiment idea - enough work to cover two lessons.
