Revision sheet for students to revise:
- Converging and Diverging lenses
- Ray Diagrams
- Properties and uses of lenses
Includes answers and worked solutions
A worksheet aimed to teach students how to convert from Kelvin to Celsius and vice versa. Students have to calculate the surface temperature of planets in the Solar System, and then plot a graph of distance from the Sun v temperature. Then use the graph to answer questions.
Powerpoint slides on energy production, with revision sheets for students on energy production, fossil fuels, pumped storage, wind generators and solar energy.
A set of A4 size posters to explain some of the key words needed for science experiments. (Precision, accuracy, errors, variables etc)
Included is a PowerPoint version which can be added to and edited. A pdf version which you can print out with the fonts I've used. And also one of the slides as a preview.
There are 7 slides (posters) three with images. All images are creative commons, which can be reused for commercial purposes.
If you are teaching the life cycle in stars in GCSE/IGCSE physics, GCSE Astronomy or the astrophysics options of IB or A Level. I have embedded videos from Crash Course Astronomy, in to the the life cycle of stars diagram.
Quick set of research questions for KS3 students about magnetic fields, the aim is for them to produce a powerpoint or presentation on as many questions as possible.
Research activity for Year 7 students. Students research about the adaptations of the plants and animals of the Namib Desert.
The activity requires students to research, and then present their findings in a poster. Included is a writing frame to help students structure their research.
Students can use a QR scanner on their phone (QR apps are free to download for Android and iPhone), and it will take them to pages with information.
Included is the original PowerPoint that you can adapt, some images of the animals and plants in the task, as well as a pdf of the powerpoint if you want to share it directly with your students, so they can read it on their computers. The pdf also has clickable links.
Mainly used as an introduction in IB Theory of Knowledge but could be applied to geography. Students analyse and draw their own maps to understand better their cultural perspective on the world.
Three high quality images (printable to at least A3 size) to display the equations and uses of Newton's Law of Gravitation. A PowerPoint of the images along with worked examples. The worked examples are included as a stand alone worksheet as well. (Answers to worksheet are on the PowerPoint).
Some of my most popular displays bundled together.
Includes:
Exam command terms
Key words in science
EM Spectrum
History of American spaceflight
Newton's Law of Gravitation
Radioactive decay
Particle physics
The Solar System
High quality images and displays for AS/A2 and IB Physics particicle physics topics. Includes displays of the particle zoo, feynman diagrams and the rules for the laws of conservation. Included with the images are editable PowerPoint files.
Lesson explaining what is a Solar Eclipse and the difference between a total, partial and annular solar eclipse.
Students should use their phones to simulate the different types of solar eclipses (see cover image) and then be able to explain the conditions for the three types of solar eclipses to occur.
Also includes research worksheet.
Two page revision guide the conservation of energy. Types of energy, kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy. Includes practice question, worked questions, and answer page for practice questions.
Presentation and displays of the history of manned spaceflight in the US. This is the first part and covers the Mercury and Gemini program from 1961 to 1966.
