Hello everyone!
I made this page for all iGCSE scientists for their Physics exams.
The resource includes all the formulae and equations needed for Paper 1 and Paper 2, and also includes the UNITS that students need to learn.
I wasn’t able to find anything suitable for the new scheme, so I borrowed a layout idea from a previously available resource on here and made my own page from scratch.
Included in the download you’ll get the colour version and the black and white version.
Enjoy it - I hope it helps you!
I know how frustrating and time consuming it is to try to find resources for your students.
I have downloaded all the Physics Sample Papers and Exam papers issued by Edexcel for the 9-1 Papers along with their markschemes and placed them on TES for you.
I have no copyright on these and they are freely available elsewhere, as well as through Edexcel as individual downloads that you need to save one by one, I just felt it easier to put them all in one place for you, as a single download.
With sensible names.
I will keep updating this download as the years go by for you.
If you would like other resources, please do check out my shop.
I have summary sheets, A3 pages of in-class summary activities and even the whole curriculum onto question-and-answer revision cards so that your students can quiz each other as lesson starters, or make their own cards at home to aid their revision.
Hi all!
This is a revision mat set I created to help my students summarise their work bit by bit to try to keep them on top of the enormous content of the new 9-1 2016 curriculum. Hopefully it will help with revision as it is a great little activity.
I contains a mixture of diagrams, calculations, questions, definitions, formulae that are needed and a touch of fun.
I will be adding further resources as I create them.
These mats:
Biology goes up to page 33,
Chemistry goes up to page 35,
Physics goes up to page 23.
All of the OCR textbook.
Keep me posted on how it goes! :-)
This resource is very handy to quiz students on whether or not they know their circuit components.
These are easy marks in exam papers, and yet many students throw these marks away because they cannot recognise the circuit parts.
Print the pages out, align them, stick them back to back, and then cut out your very own set of quiz cards.
Have fun!
Are you tired of students identifying measuring cylinders as beakers and calling beakers "cups"??
Struggling with students getting names of apparatus wrong in test and in conversations?
This is what you have been looking for!
THIS is a resource that can be used for all years, particularly Year 7 apparatus identification and induction into secondary science, but also for Applications of Science BTEC course to help ensure students know their pieces of apparatus for their practical examination.
The first page has the names of the common apparatus for KS3 and KS4, the second page has the pictures of the apparatus to help students to recognise them.
This resource can be used in a number of different ways, depending what you want to do and what your students are familiar with:
-A starter or plenary activity
-Group work: they're given the cards, separated, and they need to sort and pair as a group.
-Pair work: Use the keywords as a question for an opponent to locate the answer.
-Give each student a card sort (separated already) as a homework/classwork activity.
-Give each student the two pages of cards to stick the words and the symbol back to back to make key idea revision cards to learn for revision.
-Choose a few as a starter activity, jumble them up, and pop onto a slide for the beginning of a lesson
-Any other use you can think of!
Laminate a class set of them if you want to use them repeatedly.
This card sort incorporates the key words and definitions from the Year 7 Solar System and Planets section.
Use the cards as a starter activity, a plenary activity, or all together with other resources at the end of the year to do revision sessions.
I particularly enjoy this resource because after 3 uses, most students can get the cards sorted quite quickly and in only a few minutes.
Have fun!
This game helps students to develop their explanations and descriptions of words; to be able to ‘talk around’ certain words helps to develop examination skills for later down the line.
This game of taboo involves 2-3 players.
Player 1 is given a keyword that the other two players need to guess, but player 1 is given two words on their card under the heading ‘Taboo’ that they are not allowed to say. Player 1 must talk around these words and give enough clues to the other player/other two players to be able to guess what the keyword is. The keyword also cannot be said.
These revision mats were designed to summarise the first chapter of each of the new Biology, Chemistry and Physics units.
Each sheet also includes revision and summary information on two core practicals that fall within the unit.
They do include the details of which Pearson Edexcel textbook page numbers each little section refers to for reference if the student wishes to go back and recap. They also include some exam-style questions.
Our students responded really well to these: basically I summarise the pages, we give them out, the students fill them in a memorise the pages, and then they do pretty ace in their assessment as the assessments now are about knowing the content backwards (the revision mat) and then because they know the content, application within the assessment is far easier no matter what question is asked.
I hope they help.

I hope this helps. I have Chemistry and Biology too elsewhere, or all in a bundle if you want.
This game contains ALL 33 symbols and units used in the OCR course. It also includes all 20 equations, symbol equations and units that need to be memorised for the course. The equations and formulae and using them make up 60-70% of the exam papers, so learning them is the best way to guarantee marks!
I created this game as my students have difficulty in remembering the Physics formulae and the units which go with the quantities.
You can use them in a variety of ways.
If you take the first and second pages and match them back to back students can ask one another the questions
Or they can ‘self study’ with the cards on the table answer-side down.
Or you can have them all as individual cards face up and students can match them that way.
If you print each set onto a different colour of paper, when you work with them in class it will help to keep them in sets and ensure that the students do not jumble them up.
Hope these help you. Great as a resource that students can use at home to help them get the equations and formulae for Physics into their heads.
This is a bundle of A3 summary sheets I made for my students using the Pearson iGCSE Student book: the questions in each box inspire students to summarise the work that they need to know for this section.
This resource includes the first two chapters of each of the Biology (Section A: Life Processes and The Variety of Living Organisms) and Chemistry (Section A: Kinetic Theory, Diffusion, Atomic Structure) topics, and Chapters 1 and 2 of the Physics topic (Movement and postion and Forces and Shape).
I am gradually adding the other Chapters as I go along.
I would print each of these topics on an A3 sheet double sided, so that the same topic is on a double-sided sheet. It would also be good to pop each sheet onto a double-sided coloured A3 sheet, then you can make each topic (Bio/Chem/Physics) a different colour to easily refer to them in class.

Every equation in the new specification laid out on to revision cards for you.
Print them back to back or stick together if you wish.
These equation cards will help you to learn the equations you need to know, and the ones that are given (because you’ll be given some in words only - you need to study the abbreviated formulae).
You will need to know every unit of each quantity, whether the equation is one you need to know or it is one you are given.
Happy revising! :-)
These revision mats are created to be summaries of Chapter 1 of each of the Biology, Chemistry and Physics topics in the new OCR 9-1 course.
They contain questions specific to the course, and will help students to summarise their work for the chapter onto single sheets.
The full sets of these will then serve as full revision summary notes come the end of the year.

Here I have combined my three excellent Physics resources: all of the facts that need to be learned, all of the equations that need to be learned and the units and symbols for all the equations.
A good portion of the Physics exam is knowing the equations and being able to apply them - up to 60% of the exam (as the maths skills are incorporated into this too, and also some 4-6 mark questions rely on knowing the equations and using them to explain concepts).
Not knowing these does a disservice as they are easy marks to gain, but also easy to lose.
These cards will help you learn what you need in a simple and interactive way.
Teachers: Why not make a few sets or class starters, putting each on a different colour of paper so they are easily re-separated.
There are a number of facts that are just expected to be known for the Physics exam.
Like the value for atmospheric pressure (100000Pa) or the value for the gravitational field strength on Earth or the specific heat capacity for water… These are required knowledge to be able to do many of the calculations, and if they are not known, easy marks get thrown away.
I have gone through all the textbooks and past papers and found and listed ALL the facts that need to be known for an exam, and then popped them on to handy revision cards for you, so that you can pass them out to your class, create a starter activity where they match the cards, or you can make a set for your GCSE-aged child to help them revise.
Have fun!
