This lesson uses carefully chosen examples with picture representations as well as chemical formulae. There are two differentiated worksheets (embedded in in the ppt) with answers and a plenary quiz. Thoroughly tried, tested and recommended. Twitter @JohnnyBHudson

A tried and tested lesson on absorption and emission spectra. Contains a recapping starter, an identifying spectra task and consolidation exercises. By using energy numbers for the levels students engage with the concept much better. Suitable for AQA Combined Science Trilogy 4.4.1.1 or AQA GCSE Physics 6.4.1.1 or A level Chemistry or Physics.

Plays by the same rules as popular children’s card game “TopTrumps”. A card game with twenty-three different fundamental particles. I recommend this to introduce the particles topic at A-level, it is very engaging. Make up a whole class set for students to work in pairs they will accidentally learn loads whilst having fun. My students often have the cards in front of them throughout the topic. Added rules for annihilation when a particle and antiparticle meet. Graphics used by permission by the Particle Zoo

A differentiated starter on area and perimeter of circles with answers included.

This lesson is designed to get students to recognise stars, planets and constellations with just their eyes. The lesson contains notes on Orion and the Plough and a short quiz.

This lesson was graded as Outstanding at an interview. Mini-whiteboard starter with unusual adaptations, surface area to volume ratio calculations and a differentiated written plenary.

Five interactive competitive games on AS Physics topics of Mechanics, Particles, Photoelectric Effect, Waves and Young Modulus. These will make a very welcome break from other less thrilling means of revision. The Matching Pairs Game is a fun and competitive interactive whiteboard game in which two teams take it in turns to match tiles. The game automatically scores and has a built in timer in the event of a draw. Students really enjoy the competitiveness. This game won a Microsoft innovation award. An editor is separately available to make your own games; https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/matching-pairs-interactive-game-creator-11063058 These five games are also available together in a discounted bundle of ten A-level Matching Pairs Games; https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/bundler/11560439 bennyjohn5@hotmail.com

A very carefully differentiated lesson on covalent bonding. Starts with a quiz and worked examples. The main task involves students creating molecules and drawing them showing the outer electrons. There are eleven differentiated molecules and answers are included for peer assessment. My class had sufficient molymod molecule kits to work individually.

A carefully designed lesson on fuses. It is designed to follow on from a lesson on wiring plugs. All worksheets include careful answers and there are lots of opportunities for extension work. Interactive plug parts recap Fuses notes & calculations Fuse wire practical Dangerous appliance diagrams Exam questions

Plays by the same rules as popular children’s card game “TopTrumps”. A card game with sixteen different types of power stations. I recommend this to introduce or revise the GCSE power stations topic, it is very engaging. Make up a whole class set for students to work in pairs they will accidentally learn loads whilst having fun.

These lessons contain ray diagrams, power calculations and lens practicals. Quizzes, question sets and practicals are in the presentation. This presentation was originally used to teach the topic at GCSE and stop short of the A-level lens equation.

This quiz contains eighteen multiple choice questions. Students should have a gut feeling for the size of their answers. This quiz should help them to learn to self-check that they are calculating quantities with the correct order of magnitude. Contains a page summarising the answers and an introduction by way of The Hitchhikers Guide.

This lesson is a favourite of mine. The topic may not be on an examined syllabus anymore but works as an excellent extension or gain time lesson. Contains a lot of big ideas but broken up with short activities. Differentiated question sheets are embedded in the powerpoint. Ofsted judged this lesson with my year 9s as"outstanding" in every area.

A bingo game designed to get the whole class using their brains to consolidate this topic. There are 22 graph-based questions, the answer and method is shown after each question. The questions are in difficulty order. Surprisingly competitive.

41 waves multiple choice questions for Physics A-level with student-friendly solutions and extension work options. Questions from the particles topic are available as a free sample Also available 257 multiple choice question bundle for A-level physics first year topics
