17 jpg images on the Solar System. Explaining some of the bits of the Solar System are often forgotten!

I made a powerpoint with easy to read font for all the possible command terms in science exams (SATs, GCSEs, AS/A Levels). However, I am certain these command terms are also applicable to many other non-science subjects.
There are 25 command terms with definitions, on A4 landscape pages. An example of one of the command terms is below:
State: Give a specific name, value or other brief answer. (No supporting argument or calculation is needed)
Included is the original powerpoint to add to/edit. As you may not have the font I used installed it will just show up in Arial. I've included a pdf copy as well which will have the font I used on it.
I picked the font, as normally these type of displays are written in comic sans to make them easy to read, but I detest that font! This font, named 'complete in him' is easy to read for dyslexic students (I have surveyed some of my students who are dyslexic, and I am also dyslexic)
Bundle of two of my most popular displays. Each resource contains several high quality images of either features of the Solar System or the history of Manned Spaceflight or Newton's Law of Gravitation.
Electricity is one of the least favourite topics non specialist physics teachers have to cover, these three resources give clear explanations on concepts students at GCSE and IGCSE need to cover, along with clear instructions on how to set up practicals!
Aimed at IB DP students studying topic 8, but also suitable for A Level physics and higher ability GCSE/IGCSE students:
Presentation and questions covering:
Energy sources, renewable and non-renewable energy sources, efficiency, Sankey diagrams, energy density, specific heat capacity.
This is an introduction to parallel and series circuits for non specialsit physics teacher. Included with the powerpoint slide is a worksheet, and how to set up the practical, with troubleshooting.
The jpeg files are previews of the slides and what the equipment looks like.
Great resource for NQTs, PGCE students and non specialists.
Practical on how to measure the refractive index of a perspex or glass block. Step by step instructions (with lots of images) included on how to set up the experiment, as well as slide show of images showing how to set up the experiment for your class. Also included are student instructions.
2 page worksheet (with answers) for IGCSE/GCSE physics. Problems are on SI units, converting units, calculating volume of a regular shape and calculating density.
Two pages that help students structure how to write a scientific investigation. The aim of the investigation is to determine the refractive index of a perspex block.
Attached is everything you will need to teach a lesson (with a class practical or demonstration) on transformers. Using a multimeter that can measure AC voltage (available at places like Maplins), and a set of transformer coils (available from Phillip Harris) students measure the voltage across the primary and secondary coil of a transformer. Included are student instructions, guided questions, and teacher set up instructions.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MULTIMETER THAT CAN MEASURE AC VOLTAGE BEFORE PURCHASING! See cover image for all equipment you will need!
A set posters to explain some of the key words needed for science experiments. (Precision, accuracy, errors, variables etc)
Included is a PowerPoint version which can be added to and edited. A pdf version which you can print out with the fonts I've used. And also one of the slides as a preview.
There are 7 slides (posters) three with images. All images are creative commons, which can be reused for commercial purposes.

Powerpoint slides explaining what a potential divider is, and explaining step by step how we derrive the equations for a potential divider. With an investigation suggestion for potential dividers.
Worksheet included with 4 KS5 questions on potential dividers, and mark scheme with worked solutions.
Designed for IB Design Technology, but useful for GCSE Design Technology Systems and Control, Electronics, A Level Electronics.
Worksheets to revise the basics of electricity. definitions, units, Ohm's law, resistance, resistivity, capacitors, alternating current, power...
Using the film (and book) 'The Martian' as a theme, this A3 sheet asks questions based on Newton's Law of Gravitation.
Aimed at KS5 Students. Original publisher file attached, as well as a pdf in case you do not have Publisher installed.
This guide will show you how to download the Vernier Graphical Analysis app for your (and your students') iPhone, iPad and Android tablets and phones.
It will also show you how to manually record data on the app, and how to share the data so that it can be processed in Excel.
