This lesson is designed to get students to recognise stars, planets and constellations with just their eyes. The lesson contains notes on Orion and the Plough and a short quiz.

I selected 18 questions from the past papers to use with my year 13 class. All the answers are carefully presented. The difficulty is graded for every question ★★★☆☆ The formatting enabled me to use the questions on our remote learning platform. I tried to choose questions with interesting examples. So not the salad spinner one. In the 2020 lockdown I developed four interactive ebooks to help teach and test material for the Engineering unit. These are strongly recommended. Moments of Inertia Flywheel Practical pV graphs for Engineering Engine Cycles and Calculations

Exoplanets are very frequently in the news, they are fascinating. This lesson contains a short presentation followed by the (addictive) Planet Crash simulation game or an iPad app task. A really fun lesson - particularly useful for the end of term.

The samples of meteorites were loaned (for free!) in the UK by the Science and Technology Facilities Council “Borrow the Moon”

Used at the very start of the AS momentum topic to help students to recap GCSE momentum concepts. There are three slides to print at different difficulty levels; normal, tricky and trickiest. Covers units, formulae, concept and calculations for momentum. The answers are included. You might also find this resource handy to recap momentum; https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/momentum-interactive-flash-cards-11338769

A competitive interactive whiteboard game in which two teams take it in turns to match waves keywords to diagrams and descriptions. The game automatically scores and has a built in timer in the event of a draw. Students really enjoy the competitiveness, strongly recommended. This game won a Microsoft innovation award. A version containing an editor and picture pairs is now available to buy on TES resources. Visit my shop; www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/bennyjohn5

A lesson starter activity. Clicking on a flash card makes it rotate revealing the correct answer. Animated using PowerPoint triggers.

Three question sheets, solutions and worked examples for combining resistors in parallel. This resource was created for a GCSE group.

This lesson is used to introduce simple harmonic motion. A prior knowledge of circular motion or waves is not needed. 1 Matching pairs starter interactive game 2 Newton’s gravity train 3 Bouncy spring - table and sketch graphs 4 Question sheets

I use these twenty four quiz question with mini-whiteboards to gauge students learning on circuit components, units, current and voltage rules and Ohm's law. Aimed at GCSE level.

Use these questions with your brightest and best year 12 students to occupy and stretch them from the very beginning of the A level physics course. The year 12 A level Physics Olympiad exams are in January and March every year. It’s tricky to start training students on challenging questions at the start of their A level studies as they haven’t covered much relevant content. The questions reproduced in this resource are suitable for the start of the A level physics course - the problem solving is tricky but builds on existing GCSE knowledge. Solutions are provided.

A simple and very interactive way to introduce distance-time graphs. Challenge students to act out each of four graphs as the timer moves across. You will need to mark out an 8m stretch of classroom for them to move along. I use a high score table adding each competitor in turn. Animated correct answers are supplied as well as an embedded worksheet - a fun consolidation task.

Two worksheets with answers on atomic symbols, isotopes, alpha and beta decay, fission and fusion nuclear equations. A very brief presentation is included with examples for alpha and beta decay. When my students met this topic in A2 OCR Physics, these resources provided a satisfying recap. Students generally muddled through the questions with answers requiring little teacher input. These worksheets would also work well for GCSE students.

This quiz contains eighteen multiple choice questions. Students should have a gut feeling for the size of their answers. This quiz should help them to learn to self-check that they are calculating quantities with the correct order of magnitude. Contains a page summarising the answers and an introduction by way of The Hitchhikers Guide.

Includes careful notes and diagrams, results from a practical and exam style questions. My favourite item here is an extension task to stretch the most able in your group - students find the maximum power output from a cell using differentiation or trial and improvement.
