This is an engaging REVISION lesson which is fully-resourced and uses a range of exam questions, understanding checks, quick tasks and quiz competitions to enable students to assess their understanding of the content within topic 2 (Electricity) of the Pearson Edexcel IGCSE Physics 9-1 specification (4PH1) for first teaching in 2017 and first assessment in June 2019. The specification points that are covered and challenged in this revision lesson include: Use the following units: ampere (A), coulomb ©, joule (J), ohm (Ω), second (s), volt (V) and watt (W) understand how the use of fuses protects the device or user in a range of domestic appliances Know and use the relationship between power, current and voltage Know the difference between mains electricity being alternating current (a.c.) and direct current (d.c.) being supplied by a cell or battery Understand how the current in a series circuit depends on the applied voltage and the number and nature of other components Know and use the relationship between voltage, current and resistance Know that current is the rate of flow of charge Know that electric current in solid metallic conductors is a flow of negatively charged electrons Know that the voltage across two components connected in parallel is the same Calculate the currents, voltages and resistances of two resistive components connected in a series circuit Explain how positive and negative electrostatic charges are produced on materials by the loss and gain of electrons Know that there are forces of attraction between unlike charges and forces of repulsion between like charges The students will thoroughly enjoy the range of activities, which include quiz competitions such as “COMPLETE ME” where they have to compete to be the 1st to recognise an electrical key term to complete a passage whilst all the time evaluating and assessing which areas of this topic will need their further attention. This lesson can be used as revision resource at the end of the topic or in the lead up to mocks or the actual International GCSE exams

This is a fully-resourced REVISION lesson which uses a range of exam questions, understanding checks, quick tasks and quiz competitions to enable students to assess their understanding of the content within topic 4 (Magnetism and magnetic fields) of the OCR GCSE Physics A 9-1 specification. The specification points that are covered in this revision lesson include: Describe the attraction and repulsion between unlike and like poles for permanent magnets Describe the difference between permanent and induced magnets Explain how the behaviour of a magnetic (dipping) compass is related to evidence that the core of the Earth must be magnetic Apply: force on a conductor (at right angles to a magnetic field) carrying a current = magnetic flux density x current x length Apply: potential difference across primary coil (V)/potential difference across secondary coil (V) = number of turns in primary coil / number of turns in secondary coil Describe how a magnet and a current-carrying conductor exert a force on one another Show that Fleming’s left-hand rule represents the relative orientations of the force, the current and the magnetic field Explain how the force exerted from a magnet and a current-carrying conductor is used to cause rotation in electric motors Explain the action of a loudspeaker and headphones Of all of the Physics topics, this one tends to be one of the least well understood. Therefore, time has been taken to not only make this an engaging revision lesson but to go into detail on some of the topics which are commonly assessed in the exams. LInks have also been made to topic 3 (electricity) as these can often be combined in questions on Paper 1. This lesson can be used as revision resource at the end of the topic or in the lead up to mocks or the actual GCSE exams

Students will enjoy the range of activities which includes quiz competitions such as “FILL THE VOID” where students compete to be the 1st to complete one of the 12 recall equations in this topic. This lesson is suitable to be used as a revision resource at the end of the topic or in the lead up to mocks or the actual GCSE exams

This revision lesson is fully-resourced and the engaging PowerPoint and accompanying resources have been designed to challenge students on their understanding of the content detailed in topics 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 of the WJEC GCSE Physics specification. It was decided that the close links between the types of radiation, half-life and nuclear energy lent themselves to a combined revision resource. The lesson was written to cover as much of the topics as possible but the following points have been given particular attention: The nucleon and proton number and the numbers of neutrons and protons in an atomic nucleus Recognising and representing isotopes Calculating the half-life when given information about the radioactive count The differing penetrating powers of the three types of radiation Background radiation Sources of background radiation and possible reasons for varying levels of radon gas Nuclear decay equations for alpha and beta decay Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion Representing a nuclear fission reaction in an equation The wide range of activities which include exam-style questions with fully-explained answers, differentiated tasks and quick quiz competitions will engage and motivate the students whilst they recognise the areas of these topics which will require their further attention It is estimated that it will take in excess of 2 hours of GCSE teaching time to complete this lesson
