Hooke’s Law KS4 Science Physics / KS5 Recap for the topic of materials in physics L.O. To investigate how force is related to extension of a material by Hooke’s Law. To calculate the force required to extend a spring. To calculate the elastic potential energy stored in a spring. The Powerpoint presentation includes 17 slides. They contain theory, tasks, practical experiment, and questions with solutions. Some texts and images are animated, such that they appear upon click. There is a handout to go along with the practical of investigation Hooke’s law (stretching a spring using slot masses and measuring its extension.) A worksheet is included. I’ve used this sheet as homework, but you can also use it as classwork. Enjoy!

Resources (including questions) for pupils learning momentum and conservation of momentum.

Lesson structure: 1. Pupils consider how electrical appliances are powered. 2. Pupils learn keywords to describe metals and non-metals. 3. Pupils explain why metals have high melting points. 4. Pupils explain why metals conduct electricity. 5. Pupils explain why metals are flexible. 6. Plenary task: "Exit Card" 7. Extension task: Matching keywords to descriptions.

Use this revision mat for revision of ks4 topics in forces and motion. The powerpoint is more of an aid - the main activity is the revision mat.

This set of powerpoint presentations consists of 25 slides (around 1.5 to 2 hours of work for students). Students will learn to explain why the pressure in a liquid varies with depth and density. Afterwards, they will progress onto learning the physics of floating and sinking objects, and the factors that influence it. Enjoy!

3 sets of handouts to guide A-level physics revision on (1) properties of waves, (2) superposition, and (3) polarisation.

This resource is a booklet of questions for the unit of electricity in A-level Physics. I have also included the answers in a separate document. In each question, I have included the theory necessary for pupils to complete the question. It is structured in the form (1) Theory, (2) Question, (3) Multiple Choice Answers. The questions range from Basic, Medium, to Challenge. There are 14 questions in total. Enjoy!

Here is a resource (booklet of questions) for Energy revision. I began each question covering the theory that the pupils would need to know before answering the question. Therefore, each booklet serves the purpose of revision notes as well. Answers are included in separate documents. Here are the topics covered (the more difficult questions are aimed at A-level pupils): Energy transfer Kinetic Energy Gravitational Potential Energy Conservation of Energy Renewable / Non Renewable Energy Work Done Centripetal Force Weight Terminal Velocity Gravitational Attraction Gravitational Acceleration Enjoy!

Here's a powerpoint to introduce pupils to astrophysics. It contains slides covering theory, a pre-test, and a few tasks.

Topic: Energy / Energy stores / Types of energy Level: GCSE, key stage 4 I am following the AQA science (physics) syllabus but this resource is suitable for anyone teaching KS4 physics on Energy Stores ( or previously known as Different Types of Energy). Resources: 1. Powerpoint slides: 18 slides with clickable items for navigation. Answers to questions in slides reveal upon clicking. I have written “Presenter’s notes” under some slides, mostly about extension ideas and some simple notes on the theory. 2. Notes for pupils: Use this 3 page document as worksheets or handouts. Pupils can take notes during lesson or complete tasks in this editable document. Also, it includes 1 exam style question. 3. Printout: A list of descriptions (clues) for pupils to read and guess which energy store the description is referring to. (This can be cut out and put in a hat for pupils to pick out.) This makes Task 1 in the powerpoint interactive. Hope this resource is helpful for you. Please do let me know if there’s any suggestions for improvement.

Here’s a collection of multiple choice questions (with answers) for Radioactivity, suitable for GCSE key stage 4 level science (physics). They are a mixture of exam-style MC questions and exam-style questions that I have modified into MC questions. I can easily upload these worksheets online and ask my students to either highlight their answers or type their answers into a word document. I’ve separated the MC questions into sections so that you can use them as worksheets or homework. There are 11 sections in total: structure of atoms isotopes stability alpha decay beta decay gamma radiation penetration power half-life dangers and application of radiation fusion/fission nuclear reactors
