There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching and a PowerPoint to support the lesson.

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explaining how an electric loudspeaker works. This is the fifth lesson in the Electromagnetism unit of work (P7). The lesson recaps sound, longitudinal waves, frequency and amplitude and then applies them to a moving coil speaker, building on the knowledge of the motor force and solenoids from the previous lessons in the chapter. There are two PowerPoints either with or without the short 5 second video clip of the practical so that the 26MB download is optional. Ideas for differentiation, discussion, research and homework also included in lesson plan.

This is a lesson and PowerPoint explaining background radiation and its sources. This is the tenth lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson covers the main reasons for background radiation and then links to external web sources for Radon gas causes. There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching, a PowerPoint to support the lesson and a worksheet to aid in delivery / test understanding through the use of four differentiated activities to choose from.

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint discussing radioactive waste, irradiation and contamination. This is the ninth lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson covers the following learning objectives from the syllabus documentation: • Radioactive contamination is the unwanted presence of materials containing radioactive atoms on other materials. • Irradiation is the process of exposing an object to nuclear radiation. • The irradiated object does not become radioactive. • Suitable precautions must be taken to protect against any hazard • Understanding that it is important for the findings of studies into the effects of radiation on humans to be published and shared with other scientists so that the findings can be checked by peer review. • Hazards associated with radioactive material differ according to the half-life involved. There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching and a PowerPoint (12 slides).

This is a lesson and PowerPoint recapping Specific Heat Capacity. This is the fifth lesson in the Particle Model unit of work (P3). The lesson links the theories of solids, liquids and gases and the particle model to specific heat capacity. The PowerPoint explains the formula for specific heat capacity and contains a simple table for pupils to test their mathematical skills against. The lesson plan is step by step including extension ideas and the learning objectives linked directly to the syllabus.

This is a lesson and PowerPoint that covers resolution of telescopes, Rayleigh criterion, calculating the maximum resolution for any aperture and links to the use of non-optical telescopes. Included is a short experiment idea to discover the resolution of the human eye. As well as supporting A-Level Physics for many exam boards this lesson is also part of a chapter that covers the optional astrophysics unit 9 for AQA

This is a lesson and PowerPoint that covers general Doppler effect, Cosmological redshift, the Hubble constant and calculations of distance using red-shift of galaxies. There are also three slides that explain how the Audacity software (Public Domain) can be used to measure the Doppler effect in the classroom. A ZIP file includes a copy of this software. As well as supporting A-Level Physics for many exam boards this lesson is also part of a chapter that covers the optional astrophysics unit 9 for AQA Note - Updates April 2017 (Typo in example question)

This is a lesson and PowerPoint that recaps distance calculations in cosmology including parallax, spectroscopy, supernovae and red-shift. This then supports the big bang theory by linked this to the CMB and hydrogen/helium ratios before finally explaining Quasars and how we measure their distances.
