This lesson covers the Evolution of the Universe from the Big Bang through all of its major stages, including particle creation, primordial fusion and the development of galaxies. There is a worksheet of questions and answers included in this lesson. Please note that the theory of the Big Bang and the evidence for it is covered in the next lesson of this series. This is the fifth (of 6) lessons in this section entitled “Astrophysics” which is available as a bundle in our shop.

iGCSE Physics PowerPoint that covers the topic of Work Done. This 14 page powerpoint explains how frictional forces, including air resistance, needs to be overcome to keep an object moving. This is investigated with two practicals (one looking at surfaces and the second similar / extension practical looking at the effect of changing the weight of the object on friction). Graphing skills with extrapolation are also highlighted. This is the fourth of 6 topics in this units of work and is aimed at covering approximately 2-3 hours of teaching, including the experiments.

This is a lesson and PowerPoint introducing the history and development of the model of the atom. This is the third lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson covers the main scientists that have built up the theory of the atom over the centuries. The idea of theories and how they are developed and refined is discussed and some ideas for classroom activities are also included.

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint introducing the change of state of matter. This is the fourth lesson in the Particle Model unit of work (P3). The lesson covers the theories of solids, liquids and gases and the changes of state between them including a practical idea, conservation of mass and the difference between physics and chemical changes. The lesson plan is step by step including extension ideas and the learning objectives linked directly to the syllabus.

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explaining Boyle’s Law. This is the ninth lesson in the Particle Model unit of work (P3). The lesson covers the effect of changing volume of a gas at constant temperature (Boyle’s Law), defines the formula, explains pascals and also contains a step by step example question. The lesson plan is step by step including extension ideas and the learning objectives linked directly to the syllabus.

This is a 17 slide PowerPoint and a worksheet of questions that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of Rotational Motion. This is the fifth PowerPoint in this section which covers an introduction to circular mathematics and applies this to rotational engineering. This includes Angular Displacement, Radians, Angular Velocity, Angular Displacement, Tangential Velcoity, Centripetal Acceleration, and Torque.

iGCSE - Refraction of light and refractive index This lesson covers the refraction of light and the calculation of refractive index when passing from air into transparent materials. This lesson also demonstrates the experiment that can be performed, step-by-step with animation. There are also two examples of light entering and exiting other shapes (prism and edge of a square) which can cause pupils issues in exams.

iGCSE - Total Internal Reflection This lesson covers the refraction of light and the calculation of refractive index as applied to the phenomenon of total internal reflection. This lesson also demonstrates the experiment that can be performed, step-by-step with animation.

This is a 13 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topics of Vectors and Phasors. It covers an introduction to vectors, resolving vectors into components (using trigonometry), finding the sum of vectors in 2 dimensions (using trigonometry and Pythagoras’ theorem), introduction to phasors and the sinusoidal formula including phase-difference. A knowledge of trigonometry (see previous lessons in this series) is needed. This is the tenth PowerPoint in this section (Mathematical methods).

This is an 11 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of Mensuration (Volume and Surface Area of Shapes). It covers cuboids, spheres, cylinders, prisms and cones as well as composite shapes made from these. This is the eleventh PowerPoint in this section (Mathematical methods).
