Learning questions: What it development? How is it measured?
Fill in the gaps activity on Ionising radiation. Booklet then asks students to come up with their own way of thinking about ionising radiation after being given an example.
These are questions I have written on:
The EM spectrum,
Speed, distance, time, wavelength, frequency equations.
There are stretch and challenge questions as well
Comes with a markscheme
This contains an excel spreadsheet, a powerpoint slide and instructions
This is a multiplication table. Can be differentiated from 6-18. For less able or younger kids simply set the numbers lower. For top set year 11 you could have higher numbers such as 96! Put the numbers you want the kids to multiply together on the excel spreadsheet and it will automatically update on the activity slide of the powerpoint.
This is a common classroom activity but I have designed it to be dead simple to use. everything is automatic
SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS: ONLY CHANGE THE NUMBERS ON THE QUESTION PAGE OF THE EXCEL SPREADSHEET. EVERYTHING ELSE WILL SORT ITSELF OUT

Copy the question table from excel
Paste special (home tab)
paste link
paste microsoft excel worksheet object
Do the same for answers
DETAILS INSTRUCTIONS
There are TWO pages in the excel document. Only change the numbers in the QUESTION PAGE
The answers page will AUTOMATICALLY update.
There are TWO powerpoint slides. One to project to the students in order to complete the activity. The other to project when you want to show the answers. The powerpoint slide will automatically update when you change the numbers in the excel spreadsheet.
This resource covers section 1 of the new Edexcel Astronomy specification. It covers all the key points that need to be known, except for the key words North Pole and South pole.
It can also be used a Geography resource.
It could also be used as an A level extension for Physics
This lesson covers what needs to be known about the Moon in Edexcel Astronomy 2.1-2.7.
All key definitions are covered and the Lunar phases are used at the end to explain the changing way in which the Moon is perceived. A lunar phases worksheet is included.
Tidal locking is then discussed to explain why we only see one side, There are questions for the class to think about.
If the Moon is drawn. The lesson should take around 60 -75 minutes. If not, closer to an hour
The worksheet can be purchased separately here:

Answers included.
This worksheet asks questions on speed = distance divided by time and wave speed = frequency x wavelength.
The more challenging sheet requires students to combine these equations with unit conversions and standard form.
The supportive worksheet provides the students with formula triangle and removes the need for students to change the units.
