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!
These are specifically generators for the second third of the Electricity topic for the new AQA Specification.
PowerPoint designed to be used for the old additional physics AQA Scheme of work, but still perfectly usable with any exam board for the content. It will need a worksheet or set of exam questions as I have used Exampro questions and thus are copyrighted.
This is a handy sheet you may want to provide your classes - a simple to read list of all the equations required to be remembered for the AQA Physics 2016 curriculum. There is only one HT equation and this has been highlighted.
This is not the definitive list as there are more that WILL be provided in the exam, however I felt it necessary to equip my students as best I could so they can revise these.
This is my PowerPoint on the national grid for the new AQA spec. I taught this as an info hunt in the first half, so I have included these slides in at the end.
You will need to supplement this with another assessment worksheet or set of questions as I used copyrighted exam questions for mine. Any AQA worksheet on the national grid would likely be fine.
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 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 simply a list (and by no means comprehensive) of demonstrations, experiments or other engaging ways of teaching physics topics. I made this list while on a Physics Enhancement Course prior to completing my PGCE. Could well be useful to non-specialists or primary teachers!
This is my KS3 presentation on indicators and how to complete the red cabbage experiment. Very simple to read and understand and is best suited for the lower end of year 7/8. It also goes into indicator paper and an experiment worksheet and assessment worksheet is included on the powerpoint.
This is an activity you can use as either a marked piece of work by you, or the students can peer or self assess it themselves.
The task is to answer a question using the success criteria provided. I have also included my example answers that I used to model how to answer this. I has the class use whiteboards to tell me what level the examples were before they wrote their own.
Does exactly what it says on the tin - 15 questions on separation techniques and pressure. You can question and extend while going through the answers.
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 my introductory lesson to the space topic for KS3. It broadly follows the Activate Science text book. I have added more information in however from the Astronomy GCSE - just interesting information and nothing too challenging.
Should provide some good questions from the class!
This resource contains two PowerPoints and accompanying learning mats/worksheets for the activities in the lessons. The learning mat is designed to be folded and glued into a book. It is split into two lessons, one for completing an application of knowledge task regarding a friction investigation, and the other is a feedback lesson where the class will use your input to evaluate and improve upon their work. Also included is a feedback generator - this will drastically decrease your marking workload as it contains pre-written feedback and crucially, how to improve the work.
This is lesson six and seven in a SoW that is designed to into AQA GCSE content by year 9. This lesson goes into the idea of balanced and unbalanced forces and then defines a resultant force.
