A GCSE physics lesson on the evidence of the big bang used with a KS4 class. Covers doppler effect and red shift. I also had students running outside pretending to be a ambulance to demonstrate the doppler effect.

GCSE Physics lesson on the introduction of Magnetism. Includes magnetic field practical

GCSE Physics lesson on the life cycle of a star for a KS4 class. Crossword included.

KS3 lesson on gravity and the differences in the effect of gravity on different planets. Homework task included at the end of the lesson. Print off the last 8 slides to put around the room when calculating the weight on different planets. Learning Objectives: Describe the difference between mass and weight Explain why gravity is not the same on different planets

KS3 lesson on the moon and the different stages of the moon throughout it’s cycle. Differentiated throughout and you can just print off the slide with the crossword on it for the students. Learning Objectives: Recall the key terms in the solar system Describe the phases of the moon Explain the difference between a new and full moon

KS3 lesson on different aspects of astronomy looking at: days, months, years and seasons.Differentiated throughout and a homework included at the end of the lesson Learning Objectives: Describe the terms: night, day, month and year Explain why the planet has seasons Compare days, months and years on other planets

Differentiated lesson on density. Experiment using eureka cups and investigating densities of different objects. Question race at the end to escape the T-rex, differentiated questions and answers included. Learning Objectives: Describe how to measure densities Predict whether an object with sink or float Calculate density of objects from their mass and volume

A lesson created for the maths department to use during science week, looking at graph work and relative formula mass. Can be used in science lessons too! Differentiated throughout. Learning Objectives: Describe what is needed to draw a graph Calculate the relative formula mass of compounds Analyse equations to work out the mass of unknown substances

Lesson covering the centre of mass and working out the centre of mass of regular and irregular objects. Differentiated throughout and the practical involving finding the centre of mass of irregular shapes. Learning Objectives: Describe what is meant by the centre of mass of a body and how to find it Explain why objects topple over Explain how to find the centre of mass of an irregular object

KS3 lesson on eclipses and satellites. Differentiated questions throughout and weblinks all working when uploaded. I would advise also having a big light/torch and two different sized balls to demonstrate the different types of eclipses. Learning Objectives: Describe what satellites are Describe the difference between lunar and solar eclipses Explain how eclipses occur

This GCSE revision booklet contains a selection of activities which enable students to consolidate their understanding of the topic. The resource will show students many different ways to revise for their upcoming exams. The resource is suitable for year 10 and year 11.

Lesson on radioactive decay, looking at alpha, beta and gamma decay. Differentiated sheets included Learning Objectives: Identify each type of radioactive decay Describe the properties of each radioactive decay Compare the differences between alpha and beta decay

KS3 lesson on friction. Differentiated throughout and combined with the practical dragging blocks over different surfaces. Learning Objectives: Describe what friction is and how it occurs Identify uses for friction Explain why friction can be useful or a problem

Lesson looking at the life cycle of a star. Could be used with many different year groups. I printed out a blank version of slide 17 for the students to fill out as I went through the stages during the lesson. Learning Objectives: Describe the life cycle of our star Explain how heavy elements are formed Explain why different stars can go through different stages in their lifetimes

GCSE lesson on stability, looking at the factors that affect it. The 'practical' involved in the lesson was cello taping lego bricks to tiles and lifting them until the lego topples over. Learning Objectives: Explain why things topple over Explain the factors that affect stability

GCSE lesson on pendulums. Differentiated throughout and practical involved. Learning Objectives: Describe the difference between time period, frequency and amplitude Calculate time period and frequency of different pendulums Describe the factors that affect the period of a pendulum

Lesson looking at using the speed equation with differentiated questions throughout. I took the students outside to time themselves walking, jogging and running different distances. They then calculated their speeds back int eh classroom (you could then get them to draw a bar graph of their results as practice for drawing graphs!). Homework in this lesson is a reverse crossword (a crossword in which the students have to think what the clues would be for each word) Learning Objectives: Recall the equation and formula triangle to calculate speed Calculate distance, time and speed using the equation

These sheets are to help students revise content from Physics Paper 1 (triology) that they need to know for the new GCSE specifications. They could be used with Year 10 or 11. Each sheet has differentiated questions. They could be used in lessons, for homework or in extended days for Year 11 students.
