I used this to teach refraction at GCSE level, but could work as an introduction for A-level. Uses a tractor stuck in the mud analogy to aid students in working out which direction rays bend. This resource also includes a starter quiz, plenary and question sheets with answers plus a Snell’s law extension for gifted students. There is plenty of material here which could easily be cropped to tailor to your own class.

Atomic diagrams and the scattering diagram are enhanced with animations. A starter is included to test and recap learning on atomic symbols and isotopes. The presentation has a link to a suitable Youtube clip. The end of the presentation has questions (& answers) on the analysis of Rutherford’s experiment.

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 presentation was designed for a very successful interview lesson. The diagrams are animated and there are lots of AfL questions. A series of graded question sheets with answers are embedded allowing differentiation. Very clear and strongly organised ideas - recommended. Updated and expanded May 2022

An animated presentation on fusion and fission. A really interesting lesson with lots here to engage students. Suitable for use with GCSE or A-level Physics. Updated and extended July 2019

Newton’s laws are presented using fun and memorable animated images including Wile-e-Coyote and Super Mario. Included here are notes, a multiple choice quiz, a worksheet to use with the pHet interactive and two other illustrative worksheets.

A fun and competitive interactive whiteboard game in which two teams take it in turns to match tiles. An interactive whiteboard or two remote mice works best. 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. Very strongly recommended for all ages. This template allows you to make your own interactive whiteboard games. Making your own game should take about five minutes. A bonus matching pairs pictures template is included so you can include pictures and diagrams in your games. Nineteen exemplar Matching Pairs Games are included with editing enabled to let you customise them. There are many free examples of Matching Pairs Games to try before you buy.

Four animated starter questions to prompt discussion and explore the concepts underlying energy conservation. Students find the bizarre situations and theoretical approach appealing. As with concept cartoons student’s ideas can be very revealing. This resource should be used once the basic concepts of energy types have been introduced.

A fun competitive interactive game in which two teams take it in turns to match velocity-time and displacement-time graphs to their descriptions. An interactive whiteboard or two remote mice works best. Suitable for GCSE and A-level. The game automatically scores and has a built in timer in the event of a draw. Students really enjoy the competitiveness, strongly recommended. This game won a Microsoft innovation award. A version containing an editor and picture pairs is now available to buy on TES resources.

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 GCSE Electricity bennyjohn5@hotmail.com

Two worksheets with answers on atomic symbols, isotopes, alpha and beta decay, fission and fusion nuclear equations. A very brief presentation is included with examples for alpha and beta decay. When my students met this topic in A2 OCR Physics, these resources provided a satisfying recap. Students generally muddled through the questions with answers requiring little teacher input. These worksheets would also work well for GCSE students.

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. Forces and Motion Four in a Row is designed primarily for GCSE Physics/ Combined Science courses but may be useful elsewhere.
