A comprehensive lesson which teaches students about orbits, how their instantaneous velocity impacts their orbital radius and stability and how to calculate orbital speeds. Learning objective: Explain why orbital speeds change during elliptical orbits. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Success criteria: I can describe how orbital speeds change with the size of the orbit. I can compare the different types of orbits. I can calculate orbital speeds. Powerpoint contains 28 slides. Contains past paper questions that target this topic, some questions require knowledge from prior lessons.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify carrier waves. Describe how waves can be modulated by amplitude or frequency. Explain why radio receivers are often able to detect a signal over a large area.

A collection of 4 revision mats for students to fill (answer sheets are included) - I found it has been useful to zoom in on selected parts on the projector as students check their notes on the sheet. Notes are condensed for the following topics: Electricity, Magnetism, Matter, Forces and Energy. Slides were originally produced on google slides, please open them as google slides to avoid formatting issues.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify permanent and induced magnets. Describe what’s meant by a permanent and induced magnet. Explain why magnets are used in industry.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify the effect of force. Describe how to calculate force. Explain why mass and acceleration affects force.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify the 3 types of radiations. Describe properties of each type of radiation. Explain why the atomic and mass numbers change after some radioactive emissions.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify waves from a top view. Describe what occurs during diffraction. Explain why a diffraction grating produces light and dark zones.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify some satellites. Describe what’s meant by a satellite. Explain how satellites are useful.

A comprehension lesson that teaches students about how the eye and the camera treat light. Students will have the opportunity to create a simple pinhole camera. Progress checks are available following each success criteria Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner. Learning objective: Compare how the eye and the camera interpret light differently. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Success criteria: Identify parts of the camera and the eye. Describe how light is processed by the camera and the eye. Compare the eye and the camera. Powerpoint contains 15 slides.

A comprehensive lesson which teaches students about the universe and its contents. Students will then progress to learn about our solar system and orbiting objects in space. Progress checks are available following each success criteria Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner. Learning objective: Develop an understanding of what makes up our universe. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Success criteria: I can identify components of the universe. I can describe our solar system. I can explain why gravity is needed for solar systems to survive. Powerpoint contains 31 slides.

Originally created for the BTEC Applied Science level 3 qualification Unit 5 - Physics. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Recall the equations involving work done by movement and work done by pressure expansion. Describe how the area of cylinder heads affect the movement of fluids in hydraulics. Use multiple equations to calculate the work, force and distance moved by hydraulic cylinders. The resource contains past paper questions and mark scheme answers. Slides were originally created using google slides, opening in microsoft powerpoint might cause slight misalignment - open in google slides to avoid this.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify pivots. Describe how a moment is made. Explain why doors have their handle on the furthest point from the pivot.

A revision session containing a mind map (with guidance and without). A Powerpoint containing a quiz session (10 questions) - excellent for a starter / plenary. Answers to each section of the mind map within the Powerpoint.
