An exemplar FREE Four in a Row game on Radioactivity is available to try before you buy.
Four in a Row games on six other physics topics are available individually from my shop or as a bundle at a greatly reduced price.
Four in a Row is a game for your whiteboard. Nothing needs to be printed or prepared to play this game. The game-play is somewhere between noughts and crosses and blockbusters. Two teams alternate, competing to correctly answer questions on the grid. The board is interactive - clicking tiles changes the colours and also reveals answers.
Molecules and Matter Four in a Row is designed primarily for GCSE Physics/ Combined Science courses but may be useful elsewhere.

I used this to teach refraction at GCSE level, but could work as an introduction for A-level. Uses a tractor stuck in the mud analogy to aid students in working out which direction rays bend. This resource also includes a starter quiz, plenary and question sheets with answers plus a Snell’s law extension for gifted students. There is plenty of material here which could easily be cropped to tailor to your own class.

A very carefully differentiated lesson on covalent bonding. Starts with a quiz and worked examples. The main task involves students creating molecules and drawing them showing the outer electrons. There are eleven differentiated molecules and answers are included for peer assessment. My class had sufficient molymod molecule kits to work individually.
A set of cards describing the stages in the life of a star. Can be printed as a card sort or done on computer(s) using the first slide. Answers are included. Appropriate for AQA P3 unit and OCR 21stC P7 unit.
Atomic diagrams and the scattering diagram are enhanced with animations. A starter is included to test and recap learning on atomic symbols and isotopes. The presentation has a link to a suitable Youtube clip. The end of the presentation has questions (& answers) on the analysis of Rutherford’s experiment.

This lesson is a favourite of mine. The topic may not be on an examined syllabus anymore but works as an excellent extension or gain time lesson. Contains a lot of big ideas but broken up with short activities. Differentiated question sheets are embedded in the powerpoint. Ofsted judged this lesson with my year 9s as"outstanding" in every area.
