This is a small homework sheet with answers (don’t print them :D) that you can use to assess the first few lessons of content to my electricity SoW. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.

This is a big bundle of resources - a revision sheet for the whole Electricity topic, two assessments (H and F) with mark schemes, and a Personalised Question Level Analysis that you can complete, so the students can see exactly which questions/topic they struggled on most.

An equation heavy lesson using the Q = It equation and concept. Again, I emphasise how to use the equation a lot in this lesson. Your most able classes will likely also need an extension task with this lesson, especially if you have 1 hour lessons. Included are the ppt and the learning mat for the lesson.

This is a fun lesson! You will need to book a Van Der Graaf generator for the demonstrate phase of the lesson and you will need balloons (and ideally, a balloon pump so that no moisture enters the balloon for maximum effect). The ppt is heavily animated (it took a long time to make) but does get the concept across well. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons.

This is designed to cover two lessons - lesson one, the class will use their results from the resistance of a wire experiment to attempt a graph of results on their own. You, as the teacher will then use the feedback generator provided to assess their graphs and provide detailed feedback (using a spreadsheet that can be printed out on sheet 2 of the excel spreadsheet). Lesson 2 would then comprise of the class reading their feedback and improving or extending their work, whichever is appropriate. This would also be a good point to mark the homework that comes free with this SoW. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons.

This is an experiment brought down from GCSE to KS3 so that the students can have an early taste of a required practical. The class will have the majority of the lesson to complete the lengthy experiment after you have shown the modelling slides and demonstrated the experiment yourself. This lesson is followed up with a large mid-topic assessment piece. The lesson can be done in 50 mins, but could over run. Included are the ppt and learning mat.

This is the first lesson in the SoW that needs an equation - it’s a required to remember equation for AQA physics. The lesson is a calculation heavy lesson and fistly models how to use power triangles and equations, then the students can attempt a differentiated demonstrate task. The most able students will likely need an extension task, so have one to hand. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons.

This lesson covers parallel circuits and how they operate. included is a powerpoint, experiment worksheet and a learning mat. I liken parallel circuits to a motorway toll road to help visualise the concept first. The lesson is designed to fill around 50 mins, but could easily fill an hour with more experiment time.

This is an introductory lesson into series circuits. I liken series circuits to a roller coaster at the start for a different analogy. This lesson also contains a practical activity, again with a worksheet provided. I have also added the learning mat for the lesson.

This resource contains a powerpoint and an learning mat. The content is a 50 min lesson on different models of circuit (for non specialists, I have included a slide at the start that may be useful). The idea is simply to demonstrate the models and evaluate each one. There are extra activities/printouts at the end of the powerpoint if needed. I have also included the learning mat that goes with this lesson that can be stuck into books.

This is the introductory lesson to a scheme of work I wrote on Electricity for KS3. This could be taught to any year, however as it is a stripped down version of the content in the AQA Physics Specification and as such is designed to be most useful for that course. Lesson one revises content that should have been delivered in KS2, namely what a conductor and an insulator are. I have also added in the learning mat I made for the lesson as well. Please bear in mind that this lesson is designed for a 50 minute period, and as such you may need to add in another activity if you are an hour lesson.

This is a total of 13 quizzes, with answers that are designed to cover the 23 equations students are required to remember for the AQA specification. I also include exam question style questions, units questions and a few of the given equations as well. Answers are provided at the end. (sometimes in letter form, sometimes in word form) I used these as starters once a week with my year 11 classes last year and I kept a running tally of scores for my classes. It really helped cement their equation revision! At £10, you are getting these starters for less than £1 per resource. They take approximately 10-15 mins to complete and mark, to this is in total over 3 hours of lesson resources.

This is an introductory lesson into circuit components and drawing circuits. Designed specifically for stretch and challenge. It includes a sorting activity, a designing circuits activity and a mark scheme to go with it. There is also a challenging extension question included and an extra mark scheme for this. Made specifically to fit into AQA GCSE Physics, but could easily serve as any introduction into circuits lesson.

This is a fully resourced lesson covering both the positives and negatives of nuclear power as a source of energy, but then goes deeper into the ethics and justifications for where we build them. The main purpose of this is to help develop more higher order thinking about the topic as groups will be tasked to evaluate and justify their choice of site and be able to articulate effective reasoning. There is also a third task of peer assessment - using a success criteria, the "site selection committee" are then put under scrutiny from the "HM Government" and they have to decide if they made a persuasive enough argument. It's all made up to be rather thought provoking and fun. Possibly more suited to higher ability in it's current form, but could easily be scaffolded for lower ability classes. I work in the North West, so unfortunately that's the map you've got! You could easily replace it with your own if you wish with no problems though.

This is a skills based lesson on discerning the difference between continuous and categorical data. Includes activities based around analysis of data.

These resources are designed to be used over two lessons - lesson 12 is the assessment (higher or lower) and lesson 13 is the Personal Question Level Analysis lesson (higher or lower). The PQLA is designed to allow students to look at their tests and RAG rate their ability and understanding of those questions. It also allows for next steps to be decided upon. These are the last two lessons in the Forces and Pressure topic. This topic is designed as an introduction to AQA Trilogy Physics later in school.
