I am a KS3-4 Physics teacher currently teaching in the North West of England. In addition to physics, I am also pursuing an Astronomy GCSE for my school.
I will only upload items that I am proud of and as such I hope you will agree are of a good quality.

This is the generic generator I use to create WWW and EBI comments for a class. You populate the list with student names and fill in 6 different WWWs and EBIs for a given topic. then number the students appropriately.
On sheet 2, the printouts will appear. simply print from here and done!
This is a revision worksheet that summarises the above topic from the Activate 2 Science books for KS3 Year 8. I have also included page numbers from those books where applicable to ease the finding of the content for the questions.
Also included is an extension task of writing new questions based on the content that the class can peer test with
This is a total of 13 quizzes, with answers that are designed to cover the 23 equations students are required to remember for the AQA specification. I also include exam question style questions, units questions and a few of the given equations as well.
Answers are provided at the end. (sometimes in letter form, sometimes in word form)
I used these as starters once a week with my year 11 classes last year and I kept a running tally of scores for my classes. It really helped cement their equation revision!
At £10, you are getting these starters for less than £1 per resource. They take approximately 10-15 mins to complete and mark, to this is in total over 3 hours of lesson resources.

These two resources are to be used as part of a Physics Forces topic as an assessment of sorts. The class are to answer the 6 mark question using the success criteria provided, then you will take these home to mark and assess a level achieved.
I have also provided my assessment feedback generator that I have made to tackle some common problems I encountered. You simply copy in your class list and assign them up to 3 WWWs and EBIs from the list (these can be changed if required). This will then generate a printout on the second sheet that you can give to the class to save you writing it all!
This is intended as a revision worksheet summary of the particle model topic in AQA Physics 2016. This only includes the content relevant to combined science, not Trilogy (I have made a separate one for this.)
Print it out back to back to save on paper.
I have used the AQA specification to create all of these questions and as such should not be missing anything major from the topic.
The last slide are question cards you can hand out as an extension for students who finish to make their own questions for their peers.
This is a revision task intended to summarise the first half of the forces topic on the new AQA Physics specification. I have used the specification itself to ensure I covered as much as possible, and I have also tailored this worksheet to the combined science specification. Physics trilogy students will need to use a different worksheet (which I have made).
The forces topic is very large so I am splitting the revision of it into two as it does split quite nicely.
Print this back to back to reduce paper wastage.
The last slide is an extension task - students can cut out these question cards and write their own questions using the revision sheet to help them. These can then be passed to other members of the group.
This is an entirely optional lesson - a reflection lesson that I use after I have marked books and expect homework in. A series of tasks are included on the slides and it is expected that the students will have marking/questions to do from your comments in the books.
This is a worksheet created specifically to help embed mathematical principles in a science context. The worksheet is tasking the students to put things in and take things out of standard form.
This is bundled with an adjoining powerpoint if required.
This recource is a literacy based question on the title topic for the year 7 scheme of work followed by most boards. Included is a question sheet and the success criteria. The students could use the criteria to write an answer and the either the teacher or the students could assess the answer using the criteria and offer improvements.
This is the first lesson in the SoW that needs an equation - it’s a required to remember equation for AQA physics. The lesson is a calculation heavy lesson and fistly models how to use power triangles and equations, then the students can attempt a differentiated demonstrate task.
The most able students will likely need an extension task, so have one to hand.
I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.
This is a summary sheet designed for use with the Activate Science books for KS3. I have put the numbers where relevant to help the searching of the necessary content. I have also included an extension task sheet where students can create and share their own questions on the topic.
This is a fully resourced lesson covering both the positives and negatives of nuclear power as a source of energy, but then goes deeper into the ethics and justifications for where we build them. The main purpose of this is to help develop more higher order thinking about the topic as groups will be tasked to evaluate and justify their choice of site and be able to articulate effective reasoning.
There is also a third task of peer assessment - using a success criteria, the "site selection committee" are then put under scrutiny from the "HM Government" and they have to decide if they made a persuasive enough argument.
It's all made up to be rather thought provoking and fun. Possibly more suited to higher ability in it's current form, but could easily be scaffolded for lower ability classes.
I work in the North West, so unfortunately that's the map you've got! You could easily replace it with your own if you wish with no problems though.
This is a revision task intended to summarise the whole of the circuits and electricity topic on the new AQA Physics specification. I have used the specification itself to ensure I covered as much as possible, however I did want to keep it to two pages maximum, so one or two things are absent.
Print this back to back to reduce paper wastage.

This is my revision resource for the Activate book 1 Particles topic. I have referenced page numbers as well for students to easily find things.
Additionally I have added an extension task of question cards - the students make up their own particles questions and hand them to each other to test themselves.

Lesson used for an interview for an Edexcel P3 lesson. Includes activities on Centripetal Motion and the mechanics of Cyclotrons. All worksheets are provided at the end of the presentation.
This resource contains a powerpoint and an learning mat. The content is a 50 min lesson on different models of circuit (for non specialists, I have included a slide at the start that may be useful). The idea is simply to demonstrate the models and evaluate each one. There are extra activities/printouts at the end of the powerpoint if needed.
I have also included the learning mat that goes with this lesson that can be stuck into books.
This is intended as a revision worksheet summary of the Waves topic in AQA Physics 2016. This includes the content relevant to the Trilogy and the Combined Science award. I have managed to keep them on separate pages, so simply print the pages you require (page 2 is Physics Only).
I have used the AQA specification to create all of these questions and as such should not be missing anything major from the topic.
