Ten interactive competitive games on Physics A-level topics. 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;

An exemplar FREE Four in a Row game on Radioactivity is available to try before you buy.
Four in a Row games on six other physics topics are available individually from my shop or as a bundle at a greatly reduced price.
Four in a Row is a game for your whiteboard. Nothing needs to be printed or prepared to play this game. The game-play is somewhere between noughts and crosses and blockbusters. Two teams alternate, competing to correctly answer questions on the grid. The board is interactive - clicking tiles changes the colours and also reveals answers.
Wave Properties Four in a Row is designed primarily for GCSE Physics/ Combined Science courses but may be useful elsewhere.
28 materials 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
A complete lesson of notes and questions on combining resistors in series and parallel. Very carefully laid out slides - recapping from GCSE, deriving the series and parallel formulae, example calculations and a worksheet with answers provided.
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.
The pdf file allows students to independently learn and practise the A-level Young Modulus topic. Students use this pdf file on iPads/ tablets. Think of it as a very interactive text book, or a bit like Ceefax or Teletext from the olden days.
Performance will vary through different apps and platforms. The Adobe Acrobat Reader is optimal on “single page view”, Outlook and OneNote are inferior.
Also available as interactive eBooks;
Moments of Inertia
pV graphs for Engineering
Adding Resistors A level
GCSE Energy
GCSE Radioactivity

220 multiple choice questions for A-level physics second year topics. These questions have carefully presented student-friendly model solutions.
Questions from the circular motion topic are available as a free sample
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.

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.
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.
An excellent resource aimed at higher GCSE level. Contains differentiated question sheets with answers. Covers electron shells, names of ionic compounds, animated diagrams for two ionic compounds and two covalent compounds. Contains a worksheet and animated presentation. Recommended.
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.
Thoroughly tried, tested and recommended. This lesson uses carefully chosen examples with picture representations as well as chemical formulae. There are two differentiated worksheets (embedded in in the PowerPoint) with answers and a plenary quiz.

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.
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.
