I use this with a middle to high ability year 9 group, but could be used with low ability KS4 group. Activity that explains the key points of what is free fall, and also how we work out weight using g. I find the activity lasts around an hour or so. I am always looking to improve my resources, so please leave feedback! Thanks!

Images from the classic practical of looking at cheek cells and onion cells through a microscope. I use this after doing the practical (in case students can't get theirs to work) as a way of identifying key features of the cell. Aimed at KS3

Powerpoint, with videos explaining what is resistance and how to combine resistor values. Has two YouTube videos on the ppt. Just click the video when the ppt in in fullscreen.

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.

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.

17 jpg images on the Solar System. Explaining some of the bits of the Solar System are often forgotten! All images are courtesy of NASA and are free to reuse for commercial and non commercial uses.

Three separate cover sheets, explaining the assessment activities for BTEC National L3 Applied Science Unit 20. (Edexcel exam board) Complete with instructions, and link to syllabus, fully editable.

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.

One sided worksheet with questions on stellar distances and calculations involving the parallax method. With worked solutions.

An editable word document that Theory of Knowledge students can use to help guide them through the process of extracting a knowledge question from a real life situation.

Aimed for non-specialist physics teachers (or new teachers) who are teaching GCSE physics. A guided walk-though of how to measure the specific heat capacity of different metals. Includes teacher instruction sheet, and a student investigation sheet.

Revision guide on fossil fuels and energy and efficiency, includes sankey diagrams. For IB physics topic 8, but suitable for GCSE and A Level

1 page revision notes of pumped storage and GPE to KE notes for IB Physics topic 8.1. Suitable for A level and GCSE

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!

This is approximately a 2 hour research project for the IKS Area of Knowledge for the TOK course for the IB Diploma. Students should work in groups to complete the activities in the first two activity sheets, using the mind map template to help structure their arguments. They should then individually complete the personal reflection activity.
